Below is a transcript of her remarks:\n\n\u201cThe MAGA Majority is putting forward an impeachment inquiry even as their own leaders admit there's no evidence of wrongdoing.\n\n\u201cThey\u2019ve already reviewed tens of thousands of documents, interviewed dozens of witnesses \u2014 and nothing. Why? Because this has never been about the truth. This is about avenging Donald Trump. This is about undermining our democracy and influencing the 2024 election.\n\n\u201cPresident Ford once said: \u2018Truth is the glue that holds government together.\u2019 Mr. Speaker, it\u2019s truth that allows this Chamber to function. Abandoning truth in favor of political gamesmanship creates nothing but chaos. That dysfunction isn\u2019t a byproduct of the Majority\u2019s behavior \u2014 it\u2019s the point.\n\n\u201cThey don\u2019t want government to function. They\u2019ve sought nothing in service of the American people. Nothing to lower costs. Nothing to create good-paying jobs. To grow the middle class. To make everyday people feel more secure.\n\n\u201cWhat has the Majority delivered? The kind of extremism that chooses rich tax cheats over working people. That obstructs the ballot box and hikes the cost of health care. That protects guns over kids. That bans abortion and criminalizes doctors. That rewards polluters and corporate greed \u2014 and tells everyday Americans: 'You foot the bill.'\n\n\u201cThis sham impeachment is below the dignity of the People\u2019s House. It is an affront to the people who sent us here to work for them. What a disgrace.\u201d\n\nTo view the full speech, click HERE.\n\n# # #", 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://katherineclark.house.gov/press-releases?ID=5A61503A-0EAB-4308-B84C-7A121408F9E2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.2070780396461487, "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"}
