“I intend to vote for the Judiciary Committee's recommendation that would begin the inquiry for impeachment. The President of the United States needs the trust and confidence of the American people. When the President does not have credibility, the country is at risk. Currently only one in five Americans say they have confidence in the President's credibility and truthfulness. The American people deserve a speedy resolution of this crisis-in-confidence. The President deserves the opportunity to restore his credibility by having the opportunity to explain his side of what seems to be perjury and obstruction of justice both in a civil case and before a federal grand jury. It is my hope that this inquiry will meet the demands of the Constitution and be resolved with all deliberate speed. I urge my colleagues to do their duty under the Constitution and take this step toward a conclusion of this national challenge.”
