The first public hearing of Trump's impeachment investigation on November 13 was broadcast live, attracting 13 million viewers.

The hearing in the House of Representatives was broadcast live on major television channels in the US, in which Fox News attracted the largest audience with 2.9 million people, followed by MSNBC with 2.7 million. This is the first public hearing held by the US House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party, since the official opening of the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.

However, the number of people watching the event was much smaller than the 19.5 million audience watching the congressional testimony of FBI Director James Comey in June 2017.

According to a Nov. 4 poll conducted by Reuters / Ipsos, 75% of Democratic voters supported Trump's impeachment, while 79% of Republican voters protested.

During a hearing on November 13, two witnesses, former US ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, revealed a number of new details regarding Trump's conviction to urge President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. investigating former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump's rival in the race to the White House in 2020.

Democrats hope the live broadcast of the hearing will gain public support for their attempt to investigate the president's impeachment. However, some observers believe that the testimony of the two witnesses does not have enough information to weigh the public's opinion on the Trump impeachment investigation, the result could cause Democrats disappointed.

The US president has repeatedly criticized the House of Representatives investigating his impeachment as "a joke", "a witch hunt". Trump said he was too busy to watch the broadcast of the first hearing in a impeachment investigation.
