I have stated repeatedly that this Committee is... pursuant to finding out--to determining whether we should vote Articles of Impeachment against the President.

The plain import of what I said was that he is violating the law by refusing to answer these questions.

You are also proving our point for the American people to see. The President is intent on obstructing our legitimate oversight.

We will not be daunted by the coverup.

The President announced his desire to, quote, 'fight all the subpoenas,' unquote.

This is a coverup, plain and simple.

Make no mistake, we will hold President Trump accountable.

No President can be allowed to violate his or her constitutional duties, nor can any President be allowed to obstruct a congressional investigation or hide crimes.

what we're doing is very clear, it's been very clear, it continues to be very clear. The Speaker has backed us at every point along the way.

An impeachment inquiry is when you consider only impeachment. That's not what we're doing. We're investigating all of this.

I'm especially troubled by the President's attempt to obstruct Congress' investigation and prevent the American people from learning the truth about what he's done.

this is a formal impeachment proceeding.
