Speaker Johnson Statement on House Democrat Motion to Impeach President Trump

WASHINGTON - Speaker Johnson released the following statement in advance of today's House vote to table the Democrat's privileged motion to impeach President Donald Trump.

"House Democrats have demonstrated once again they are willing to abuse the Constitution in their effort to impede the agenda of the American people. Their latest sham impeachment charade against President Trump is another embarrassing political stunt. Today, House Republicans will move promptly to discard it.

"While Democrats are throwing fits, impeding law enforcement, playing political games, and demonstrating how far out of touch they are-Republicans are working to deliver lower taxes for families, restore American energy dominance, strengthen border security, restore peace through strength, and make government work more efficiently and effectively. The contrast has never been more clear."
