US (Daily Mail), 24 October 2019 -  A group of nearly two dozen conservative Republican lawmakers stormed a secure meeting room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesdsay, disrupting a Pentagon official’s deposition in the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.  

They staged a sit-in once inside, and had pizza and Chick-fil-A delivered for lunch, complaining all the while about a lack of transparency in the Democrats’ secretive probe.  

The president on Tuesday told Republicans in the Oval Office that he approved of their plan for a standoff, according to White House sources who spoke to Bloomberg.  

Laura Cooper, the U.S. defence official who oversees Ukraine and Russia matters, was set to testify behind closed doors until the conservatives entered and began yelling.
