Hakeem Jeffries actually said...

"The July 25 rough transcript is a smoking gun, and Donald Trump's words pulled the trigger."

"The impeachment of a president is a solemn responsibility that we undertake prayerfully."

"We must hold this President accountable for his stunning abuse of power. We must hold this President accountable for undermining America's national security."

"We have a constitutional responsibility to serve as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch."
