House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told MSNBC's '"The Rachel Maddow Show" the panel will release the panel's impeachment inquiry report to the public Tuesday. But he added, "That's not the end of our investigation."

What he's saying: "Tomorrow night we'll also have a vote to formally transmit the committee report to Judiciary," he told host Rachel Maddow. He added that "even while Judiciary does its work," his committee would be "continuing to issue subpoenas; we're continuing to learn new information."

This is a threat to the integrity of the upcoming election and we don't feel it should wait, in particular when we already have overwhelming evidence of the president's misconduct."

The other side: Republicans on the House committees investigating the Ukraine allegations concluded in a report reviewed by Axios Monday ahead of its formal release that President Trump had committed "no quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, or abuse of power."

The number of "permanent job losers" went up, not down, rising 25% in just one month to 2.8 million from 2.2 million.

Coronavirus testing czar: "We are not flattening the curve right now"

Adm. Brett Giroir, the Health and Human Services official overseeing the nation's coronavirus testing efforts, told Congress Thursday that the U.S. is "not flattening the curve right now," and that the nationwide surge in new cases is not simply a result of more testing.

Why it matters: President Trump said at a press conference just hours earlier that the U.S. is getting the coronavirus "under control." He and other top members of his administration have sought to downplay the growing surge in infections as largely a product of increased testing.
