Rep. Gallego Statement on Impeachment Inquiry Testimony
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) released the following statement regarding this week's testimony during the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump:
"The case is clear: President Trump abused his power and extorted Ukraine by withholding military assistance in exchange for a commitment to interfere in the 2020 elections of the United States to his own political benefit. That is an impeachable offense.
"Congressional Republicans still defending the President's actions are desperately grasping at straws while living in an alternate universe where facts don't matter.
"President Trump has betrayed his oath of office and undermined U.S. national security. Congress has no choice but to impeach and remove him from office in order to defend the rule of law and preserve our democracy."
