Congresswoman Lori Trahan Statement on Formal Impeachment Inquiry
Washington,
September 24, 2019
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (D-MA) released this statement following Speaker Pelosi’s announcement that the House would proceed with a formal impeachment inquiry.
“Earlier this year, I called for an impeachment inquiry because of the President’s disregard for the rule of law. President Trump’s recent actions further underscore that he will always place his personal interests above the national security of the United States. The President has admitted to pressuring the Ukrainian government to investigate his political opponent and thus interfere with our democratic election. He did this while delaying over $400 million in military aid to that country. I strongly support Speaker Pelosi’s decision to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry.”
