Nadler to miss final impeachment hearing over family emergency

Published December 17, 2019 4:49pm ET



House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler will miss the last procedural step in the chamber’s impeachment process to tend to a family emergency.

The New York Democrat is expected to return to Washington, D.C., late Tuesday or early Wednesday before the full House’s impeachment vote.
