Wednesday marked the beginning of the end to House Democrats' efforts to impeach President Trump.

The House Intelligence Committee completed what it called the fact-finding portion of the impeachment inquiry on Tuesday with the release of a report about the Ukraine affair and the subsequent vote to adopt it.

Then the curtain rose on a new act, one in which House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., and his members are deciding on how to proceed based on what their colleagues have uncovered.

The hearing is underway. Watch it live here.
