Gowdy, who is joining President Trump's legal team, appeared on CBS News' "Face the Nation" to discuss the impeachment probe and was asked if he still believed private hearings were preferable to public hearings. Host Margaret Brennan mentioned comments Gowdy made in April 2018 about private hearings being less like a "circus," and asked if he still stood by those sentiments. "I prefer executive-branch investigations because... you wait until the end to draw conclusions and because there are no leaks," Gowdy said. My bias has always been toward investigations that wait until the end before they share their conclusions. While Gowdy supported private hearings in principle, he frequently has bashed the Democrats' overall impeachment inquiry.
