BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. WALORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today because what we are witnessing is unprecedented in the history of this country. House Democratic leaders are conducting an impeachment inquiry behind closed doors with selective leaks instead of transparency, with no due process and without a vote on the House floor.

Why do they want to keep this process hidden from view? Because they know the American people will see right through this partisan scheme.

Democrats decided to impeach this President the day he took office. Now they are just trying to come up with a reason, no matter what the facts are.

The American people know that Washington is broken, and they sent us here to fix it. Instead, House Democrats are shaking the people's trust in this institution.

We should be passing USMCA to give our farmers and workers a better deal.

We should be voting on bipartisan legislation to lower prescription drug costs.

We should be working to fix our immigration system and secure the border.

Madam Speaker, it is time to end this charade and get back to work.
