10:50 a.m.: Protesters chant ‘lock him up’ at Veterans Day event
Signs of protest were visible Monday as Trump began speaking at the New York City Veterans Day Parade.
Whistles and chants of “Lock him up!” could be heard from the west side of Madison Square Park on Fifth Avenue near the site of his speech.
Reporters also noted that signs spelling out the words “IMPEACH” and “CONVICT” were posted in the windows of a building overlooking the park.
Trump, who was accompanied by first lady Melania Trump, made no reference to impeachment during his remarks.
9:20 a.m.: Trump claims without evidence that Schiff is doctoring transcripts
Trump claimed without evidence on Monday that Schiff has been releasing “doctored” transcripts of closed-door depositions conducted by House investigators.
No Republican on the three committees participating in the questioning of witnesses has made such a claim.

“Republicans should put out their own transcripts!” Trump said in a tweet in which he referred to Schiff as “Shifty Adam Schiff.”
“Schiff must testify as to why he MADE UP a statement from me, and read it to all!” Trump added.
During an Intelligence Committee hearing last month, Schiff presented an embellished version of Trump’s July call in which he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.
At the time, Schiff said he was conveying “the essence” of what Trump had relayed to Zelensky. Schiff later said it was meant as a parody, something that he said should have been apparent to Trump.
