The House impeachment team was missing a member during Monday’s session, as Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler was with his wife in New York as she started cancer treatment.
Mr. Nadler announced his absence Sunday night and said he will return for Tuesday’s session.
“In December, following the House Judiciary Committee markup of the Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump, my wife was admitted to the hospital where she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. She has undergone surgery and is taking further steps to address the spread of the cancer,” he wrote in a statement.
On Monday, the president’s defense team continued to lay out their rebuttal against the Democrats’ arguments.
