Rep. Chu Calls for Impeachment Inquiry Into President Trump

July 30, 2019

Today, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) issued the following statement calling for the opening of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump:

"When Special Counsel Mueller testified before Congress, he reiterated clear evidence that President Trump obstructed justice and that if Trump were not the President, he would be on trial. The next day, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan report on foreign interference in the 2016 election, confirming that Russia targeted election systems in every single state in our country. These threats undermine our democracy, and Donald Trump repeatedly attempted to obstruct the federal investigation into them. I believe it is time for Congress to open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The proceedings must be deliberate and transparent. We have a sacred duty as members of Congress to ensure that nobody is above the law. To do nothing given what we know is unacceptable."
