Former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman reflects on taking part in the 1973 impeachment hearings into President Nixon as a freshman Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee. She explains the impeachment process, draws parallels between the inquiry into Nixon and the current investigation into Trump, and shares some advice for current House members.

She also discusses her successful long-shot 1972 campaign to unseat longtime Rep. Emanuel Celler and making history to become the youngest woman ever to serve in the House at the time.

And as the first woman to be elected as Brooklyn District Attorney and New York City Comptroller, she also weighs in on gender politics in New York City.
