WATCH: Rep. Schiff Delivers Floor Speech on House Republicans’ Sham Impeachment Inquiry
Washington, D.C.— Today, Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) delivered a speech on the House floor slamming Republicans’ sham impeachment inquiry.
Watch his full remarks HERE and read the transcript of his remarks as delivered below:
In 2019, Donald Trump attempted to extort the President of Ukraine by withholding military aid unless Zelenskyy agreed to announce a sham investigation of Joe Biden.
The evidence of Trump’s impeachable offenses was overwhelming and Trump was impeached.
In 2020, after losing the election, Trump incited a violent insurrection against our own government.
The evidence of that high crime was witnessed by everyone in this chamber. He was impeached again.
And in 2023, Donald Trump is once again seeking illicit help in his campaign, this time by badgering Republicans to impeach Joe Biden.
Even with no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden, Republicans are all too willing to do it.
There is a through-line to all of this.
Donald Trump will violate the law and constitution to gain power. And to keep it.
And Republicans will enable him every step of the way. No matter how destructive the consequences to our institutions or to the country.
Rep. Schiff was the lead impeachment manager in the first impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. He had previously served as the joint-lead impeachment manager in two judicial impeachment trials.
