"The evidence is overwhelming that the president abused his power by pressuring Ukraine and its new president to investigate a political opponent," said Barry Berke, staff attorney for the Judiciary Committee. It was a fact- and lawyer-heavy hearing, focused on laying the groundwork for one final hearing in this committee — likely this week — where the panel will debate and vote on specific articles of impeachment against the president, sending those charges to the full House for a vote by all 435 members of the lower chamber.

The White House repeatedly attempted to block officials from appearing for testimony or providing documents, though some, including U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, chose to appear anyway.

In the body of the email was a link to a Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled, "The Mythical Connection Between Immigrants and Crime." In the piece, Jason L. Riley, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, points out that, contrary to the claims about immigrant crime being espoused by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose administration Miller now serves as senior policy advisor, "numerous studies going back more than a century have shown that immigrants — regardless of nationality or legal status — are less likely than the native population to commit violent crimes or to be incarcerated." That finding contradicts the message that was at the heart of Trump's campaign and that Miller himself has advanced in the White House — that immigrants, especially from Mexico and Central America, are to be feared and shunned as criminals. Miller's email is one of several highlighted in the fourth installment of a series by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has analyzed more than 900 emails between Miller and editors at Breitbart News ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
