Congresswoman Beatty Calls for Immediate Impeachment of Trump

September 24, 2019

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Following new reporting that President Trump repeatedly requested Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate his political rival by leveraging foreign aid, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) said:

"The president has time and time again lied to and mislead the American people, and the reports of his repeated pressure on the Ukrainian president to investigate his political rival of a long-debunked claim represents his most serious offense to date. We all deserve to know the truth, however, The White House​ continues to openly defy federal law and stonewall at every turn, blocking Congress from its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibility.

We are a nation of laws, but right now we have a person in the Oval Office who believes he is above the law and that government serves his political whims. That is why I am reiterating my call for impeaching the president to hold him accountable and find out all of the facts."
