Law professor Jonathan Turley told CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell that "his wife and dog" have received threats after he testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee last week as part of the impeachment proceedings.

“I know you received a lot of threats after what you did last week,” O’Donnell told the George Washington University law professor and opinion contributor to The Hill during CBS coverage of the impeachment hearings that took place on Monday.

“And my wife and dog,” Turley noted. "To be fair, you did talk about them during your testimony. You did bring up your wife and dog," O'Donnell responded, referring to Turley's mention of his wife and dog during his opening statement last week. “Who would shoot a Goldendoodle?" Turley asked in response. "Maybe a Shih Tzu, but not a Goldendoodle. I don’t understand where the anger comes from. Although as an academic, the thought that you could talk about James Madison and that would be fighting words is something I haven’t seen outside of a law school.”

The exchange between Turley and O'Donnell came after the constitutional scholar last week said in his opening statement to the Judiciary Committee that many in the country are angry.

He was the sole GOP witness invited to the hearing. Three law professors invited by Democrats argued that Trump had committed impeachable offenses.
