On the recordNovember 20, 2019
Madam Speaker, yesterday's public impeachment hearings produced some noteworthy facts. Representative Mike Turner's question of Ambassador Volker took apart the Democrats' entire case. Volker confirmed that President Trump never said that Ukraine must investigate the Bidens in order to receive defense aid from the United States. Further, Representative Elise Stefanik's questioning of Tim Morrison showed there was no quid pro quo, no bribery, no extortion, and no mention of withholding aid in exchange for investigating the Bidens. Witnesses have repeatedly stated that no quid pro quo, no bribery took place. These facts, which indeed clear our President, do not change. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to be denied basic due process rights. Democrat leadership continues to put politics before the people obsessing over impeachment and refusing to work on policies that would actually benefit the American people: ratifying the USMCA, permanently extending the 2017 tax cuts for families, and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. The people are tired of this Congress spending their tax dollars on a politically-motivated impeachment charade. ____________________
