Battlelines are drawn, as history is set to be made on Capitol Hill.

The impeachment inquiry goes public Wednesday, with House lawmakers set to hear from two U.S. diplomats about what happened between the U.S. and Ukraine. That hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

The Democratic chairman of the committee in charge of the hearings, Rep. Adam Schiff, released a memo Tuesday, telling his fellow lawmakers they have a “solemn and historic task” before them.

In his message, Schiff also outlined some of the questions they are tasked with answering, including whether President Donald Trump requested that a foreign leader initiate investigations that could benefit him politically.

“We will get all of the evidence on the table, all of the facts on the table, so that the American people can see the conduct and the misconduct of this president,” said Rep. GK Butterfield, D-1st District.

Butterfield backs the investigation, as do the other two Democrats in North Carolina’s congressional delegation.

Republicans meanwhile circulated their own memo, outlining the ways they plan to defend the president, including arguing that the summary of the president’s Ukraine call shows no evidence of pressure.

The arguments included the memo mirror ones offered by North Carolina Republicans in recent weeks.

“The parties that were on the call, including the president and vice president, as well as the Ukrainians, said at no point did they think there was quid pro quo or an exchange for foreign aid. That’s who I first believe,” said Rep. Mark Walker, R-6th District, during an interview two weeks ago.

No North Carolina lawmakers are on the panel that is handling the public hearing Wednesday.

If the House does eventually vote to impeach the president, it will then be up to the Senate to decide whether to remove Mr. Trump.

At a forum at Wake Forest University Monday, Sen. Richard Burr, R-NC, weighed in on the impeachment probe and any potential Senate trial. Burr has so far largely avoided commenting publicly on the impeachment investigation.

“I’ve been through impeachment. Nobody wins. Period. End of sentence. No party wins. The American people don’t win,” he said.

“I’m not going to make a statement about what the outcome is, because the likelihood is he and I are going to be jurors,” he continued, referencing Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., who joined him at the forum.
