Statement from White House on “illegitimate impeachment”

The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it. Nancy Pelosi and the Democratsโ€™ unhinged obsession with this illegitimate impeachment proceeding does not hurt President Trump; it hurts the American people. Instead of focusing on pressing issues that impact real families, like reducing gun violence, passing the USMCA, improving healthcare, lowering prescription drug costs, securing our southern border, and modernizing our aging infrastructure, the Democrats are choosing every day to waste time on a sham impeachmentโ€”a blatantly partisan attempt to destroy the President.

With todayโ€™s vote, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have done nothing more than enshrine unacceptable violations of due process into House rules. Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Schiff, and the Democrats conducted secret, behind-closed-door meetings, blocked the Administration from participating, and have now voted to authorize a second round of hearings that still fails to provide any due process whatsoever to the Administration. The Democrats want to render a verdict without giving the Administration a chance to mount a defense. That is unfair, unconstitutional, and fundamentally un-American.

Is the Resolution on the impeachment inquiry FAIR?

Rep. Steve Scalise responds to Democrat impeachment resolution, โ€œAnd when we talk about the vote I think its important to note that you see that not only did every single Republican reject this Soviet style impeachment process, but we were even joined by Democrats who couldnโ€™t stand it any more.

If you look at where we are right now, weโ€™re at an important point in history. Clearly there are people that we served with that donโ€™t like the results of the 2016 election, and thatโ€™s their prerogative, but the country next year will be deciding who our President is going to be. It should not be Nancy Pelosi in a small group of people that she selects that get to determine who gets to be our President.

If you look at the resolution today, they talk about fairness. Now if they really think that they can tell people its fair that only the chairman, gets to decide who the witnesses are and they give us an opportunity to call witnesses, but if the chair says that they donโ€™t like the witnesses, the witnesses donโ€™t come forward.

They allow the president to have legal council in the room unless the chairman decides that they donโ€™t want the Presidentโ€™s legal council in the room. Thatโ€™s never happened before. With the Clinton impeachment, with the Nixon impeachment, Republican and Democrat alike, both sides were treated equally, both sides could call witnesses, the Presidentโ€™s legal council was in the room, not at the discretion of the chair, but because its fair.

And so when you look at this Soviet style process, it shows you that they donโ€™t really want to get to the truth, they want to remove a sitting president. In fact the author of the articles of impeachment said if they donโ€™t impeach the president he will get reelected. Now thatโ€™s not why we have impeachment.

Alexander Hamilton made it very clear. His concern, when they were trying to promote the Constitution, was that he didnโ€™t want to see impeachment used for political purposes, yet thatโ€™s what happened today. He predicted it and it happened today. Its a sham, it shouldnโ€™t have happened. Its a tainted process that Adam Schiffโ€™s been conducting that Nadler might one day conduct. The House deserves better. The People of this country deserve better.

We should be tackling real problems. We could have lower prescription drug prices today but Pelosi wonโ€™t bring those bills to the floor because sheโ€™s infatuated with impeachment. Our troops could be properly funded but Pelosi is infatuated with impeachment. In fact we could have better trade relations with Canada and Mexico and create 160,000 new jobs today, but Pelosiโ€™s infatuated with impeachment. We deserve better.โ€
