Washington, D.C. (Jan.15, 2020)-Today, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, issued the following statement after the House of Representatives voted on H.Res. 798, a resolution to appoint managers for the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump and transmit the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate:
“As Members of the House of Representatives, we upheld our oath of office to hold the President accountable for abusing his power and obstructing Congress for his own personal and political gain. Despite President Trump’s efforts to conceal his actions, Congress continues to uncover overwhelming evidence of the President’s scheme. The Senate must now conduct a fair trial by obtaining documents and hearing from key witnesses. The Constitution demands it and the American people deserve it."
