The gentleman said that this President has tried to defy more than any other President. Those were roughly the words he said.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, but when the gentleman talks about stonewalling, acting as if President Trump is the only President in history to seek alternatives to a question that is asked by Congress----

Through the Department of Justice, he said there was no obstruction. There was no obstruction. That is what the Department of Justice said. Again, if there was, you would have put those findings from the Mueller report in this document…

I am going to go through a few points because the gentleman made a lot of assertions that are not accurate, and I think it is important to go through them. The Department of Justice did not say that a President can't be removed. The…

Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman says the evidence is overwhelming, the gentleman cites the Mueller report, the whole investigation that went on for 22 months with thousands of subpoenas, witnesses, and innuendos. And at the end of the…

Mr. Speaker, the President, like any other person who is requested to provide information, did comply. When you look at the Articles of Impeachment, at the beginning of all of this, of course, there was the Mueller investigation for 22…

Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman. Because, out of fairness, but also out of the actual rules of the House, that opportunity is in the rules for the minority to have a day of hearings, and it was denied. That means that the evidence…

You have to understand that this is a country that is being occupied by his friend Putin, and he is holding up the vital aid for them to protect their country because he says it's about corruption.

But we know from the facts in this case, from the three people who testified under oath that all this was about was making sure that he gets an investigation into Joe Biden.

This Committee, the Judiciary Committee in the House, when it impeached Judge Thomas Porteous from Louisiana, which my colleague is very aware of, and it went over to the Senate and was voted on unanimously, 96 to zero, had the same exact…

What is extraordinary is the gymnastics and hurdles that my colleagues on the other side are going through to make sure that they just throw a whole bunch of stuff at the wall, hope that they confuse the American people, hope that…

Now, more than ever, Congress must support the Peace Corps' mission and realize President Kennedy's vision.

As co-chair of the congressional Peace Corps Caucus, I am proud to continue this work in support of the Peace Corps mission.

I am here to speak on behalf of my legislation, H.R. 3456, the Peace Corps Reauthorization Act.

I agree with virtually all of the recommendations you all have made. But I do think that we need to recognize--and I think you affirmed this--that the states need to step up as well.
