Torres Small: Impeachment Is The Necessary Response

Commentary: Today, Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small (NM-02) issued the following statement ahead of this week’s scheduled vote in the House of Representatives on the two articles of impeachment brought against President Trump:   

 

“After serious consideration, I believe impeachment is the necessary response to President Trump’s use of the Executive Office of the President for his own personal and political gain.  We cannot allow any President of either party to abuse the power of the highest office, jeopardizing our country's national security in the process, to pressure foreign leaders to conduct investigations against political rivals. We also cannot allow any President to obstruct Congress’ power to investigate impeachable offenses by prohibiting White House and other administration officials from testifying or providing evidence. I must act to protect our national security, our Constitution, and the integrity of our elections."
