Congress is nearing a vote on the impeachment of President Donald Trump. The potential impeachment of a sitting President raises profound Constitutional questions: What is the burden of proof required to overturn an election? How should Congress confront alleged abuses of power that endanger democracy itself? What is a fair process if the President is put on trial?

Join us for this MSNBC special event, as anchor and chief legal correspondent Ari Melber leads a public discussion with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, and renowned legal experts on the emerging impeachment case against Pres.Trump; his available defenses; and the Constitutional dilemmas facing Congress and the nation.

The event is sold-out, but will be available as a podcast.

Doors open at 6:30 PM

Event begins at 7:30 PM

Also featuring expert legal analysis by John Flannery, Maya Wiley, Berit Berger, and John Malcolm.

Located in The Great Hall, in the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues
