"Biden Impeachment Inquiry: Witness Testimony Turns into Trial"

Jonathan Turley, a legal scholar who testified at the impeachment inquiries of both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, found himself on trial during his recent testimony at the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. Turley warned that the toxic environment surrounding these proceedings begins with how members treat the moment, but Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi chose to attack Turley personally rather than challenge his analysis. Krishnamoorthi falsely accused Turley of defending a criminal child molester and polygamist, using past work on polygamy laws as evidence. Turley clarified that he has always opposed morality legislation and condemned the criminal actions of the individual in question. Turley's experience highlights the increasing use of personal attacks and smears in political discourse, which he argues undermines the integrity of the constitutional process.
