Today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (R-AZ), member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement:

“Yesterday, Chairman Nadler dragged in three liberal law professors who donate to Democrat candidates to testify before our committee. Their bias against President Trump was abundantly clear, with one witness even attacking the President’s 13-year-old son. Nothing about yesterday’s hearing changed the minds of the American people in favor of continuing to impeach.

“Democrats have had their minds made up on impeachment since the day President Trump was elected. This has never been about the facts or the truth, which are still on the President’s side. This entire process has been biased and politically motivated, with no basic standards of due process afforded to President Trump. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats must end this sham.”
