Roe Statement on Impeachment Inquiry into President Trump

Statement

Today, Rep. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced an impeachment inquiry into President Trump:

"I'm glad the president is releasing a transcript of his call with the Ukrainian president so the American people can have full transparency about the president's conversations. Half of the Democratic caucus believed impeachment was warranted after Robert Mueller declared he found no evidence of collusion. Now the other half appears headed towards impeaching the President before seeing evidence of wrongdoing and based on a thinly-reported, third-hand account. From the moment Democrats took the House majority, they have been foaming at the mouth to begin impeachment proceedings against the president. Democratic leadership wants the public to believe they are reluctant to begin an impeachment inquiry, but the truth is this is 100 percent calculated and political."
