On Sunday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, House Judiciary Committee chairman told CNN’s Dana Bash that he was going to reject Republicans requested witnesses for the impeachment hearings because “they’re irrelevant.”

Bash asked Nadler if he’s willing to impeach the president with no Republican votes.

Nadler: “If we impeach the president, we’ll impeach him on adequate urgent grounds to defend our republic. It’s up to them to decide if they want to be patriots or partisans.”

Bash also brought up how Republicans were asking for more time to review documents and requesting their own witnesses. Rep. Doug Collins, Ranking Republican wanted other witnesses to testify, including Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, and the whistleblower.

Nadler: “The list of witnesses they gave, they asked me to call, I’ve said no to because they are irrelevant. They could appeal to the full committee if they wish and we’ll have a vote on that. But like any trial judge, you keep the witnesses to the relevancy.”

“Adam Schiff they wanted — is not a relevant witness. He didn’t witness anything. His counsel according to the House rules is going to report to the committee tomorrow. And every procedure, every fairness has been given to them. They have declined to use them.
