Judy Chu (CA-28), a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, voted in opposition and issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cAfter investigating President Biden and his family all year, Republicans have turned up zero evidence. Their hearings, their witnesses, the documents they requested, the depositions they\u2019ve taken, even their Republican colleagues in the Senate\u2014all find no evidence of wrongdoing by the President while in office or as a private citizen.\n\n\u201cBut to do the former president\u2019s bidding and distract from their manufactured crises and do-nothing record with no modern equivalent, extreme MAGA Republicans are forcing a formal impeachment inquiry. Congress could be working on a bipartisan basis to lower costs for consumers, grow the middle class, and protect America\u2019s national security. My Democratic colleagues and I are enthusiastically ready to solve America\u2019s problems, but MAGA extremists force us\u2014and the rest of the country\u2014to waste time and taxpayer dollars on this charade.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://chu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-chu-votes-against-illegitimate-impeachment-inquiry"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.474692951887846, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
