I don't think that Mr. Otting is serious about his willingness to cooperate with us.

Impeachment is whatever Congress says it is. There is no law.

For Congress to ignore the specific words of the Constitution itself and substitute its own judgments would be for Congress to do what it is accusing the president of doing, and no one is above the law, not the president, and not Congress.

And let me just say, Mr. Chairman, that fresh on our minds is the march that took place in Charlottesville, where we had white supremacists who were marching and chanting, 'You will not replace us. Jews will not replace us.'

President Trump's language that there are, 'fine people on both sides,' and his willfully blind statements asserting that there is no global rise in white nationalism should concern all of us.

America cannot tackle the threat if we refuse to recognize it, and I am eager to hear from the panel about what Congress should do to act forcefully where Trump has refused to do so.

Today, this committee convenes for its first hearing of the year to examine our country's rental housing crisis.

Gentrification has exacerbated the rental housing crisis in some communities.

More than 10 million low-income households are severely cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 50 percent of their earnings on rent.

And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere.

I am very concerned that our banking regulators are following the dangerous deregulatory blueprint that the Trump Administration laid out.
