but i want to go back to congressman anthony brown. congressman, there is a -- we -- we are accustom to the fact that in congress, some things happen behind closed doors and some things happen open to the public. lindsey graham is articulating the process that is under way by democrats right now as being one that is being held in secret. what do you say to that? >> look. when he describes it that way, all he does is try to leave the impression that there's something nefarious going on. let's keep in mind you have 25% of the republican caucus in the u.s. house of representatives is in that room. that's unprecedented. >> so it's not secret to republicans. it's not secret. there aren't things going on in rooms in meetings where only democrats are there with witnesses? >> that is right. and, in fact, every privilege, let's say, that a democratic member has to ask questions and review documents, those exact privileges are available to republican members and their staff. why is this in closed session? because much of the information is class

. >> let's talk to congressman anthony brown. congressman, you are on the ethics committee.s your reaction to this? >> let me start by saying that the ethics committee fortunately doesn't look at the conduct of the president. that may be the government oversight committee and reform. what we saw yesterday and what we're seeing is really unprecedented in which a president inserts himself into a procurement process. this would be problematic whether or not it involved a trump property or not. but the fact that it includes a trump property, president trump directing that an official government business, which is hosting the g7 summit, be held at his property? that's self-dealing at its worst, if not all outright corruption on his part. so we've been seeing this time and time again. we see it at the old post office where the trump hotel is here in washington, d.c. and we host foreign officials. we see it with the u.s. air force who are housing airmen at trump properties in scotland at prices that far exceed what they get at other properties. this is a problem. and it has been fo

we talked to anthony brown about this as well. we got his thoughts on the fairness of the process.video clip] >> why not just hold a formal impeachment vote to start the impeachment probe? is laid out,ment not even laid out, it is in the constitution and there is not a lot of detail to process how it can be conducted. the house has a set of rules and the senate has rules for an impeachment trial there is nothing that requires a formal vote. what is important is that we get to the truth, and that we have a fair, open, and transparent process. if you look at the process we 24%, one out of every four republicans have access to the hearing that is taking place behind closed doors in the house intelligence committee. it is behind closed doors because a lot of the information is classified and sensitive and we do not have the benefit of a special prosecutor like in the clinton and nixon impeachment. we are doing the work in that committee that a special prosecutor would have done. and that committee, one out of every four republicans -- that is unprecedented. i'll on the largest standing
