Jared Polis, D-Colo., moved to begin impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump today, voting against tabling an impeachment resolution by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas.\u00a0\r\n\u201cThere are serious accusations against President Trump of obstruction of justice and collusion with a foreign government, and I find these accusations credible,\u201d\u00a0said Polis.\u00a0 \u201cPresident Donald Trump has continually demonstrated that he lacks the integrity to occupy the office of the President of the United States.\u00a0 Congress needs to carry out a thoughtful, honest discussion about President Trump's fitness to serve and start the process to determine the truth.\u00a0 If guilty, every day we allow President Trump to obstruct justice, as he has possibly done in Special Counsel Mueller\u2019s investigation, we weaken our national security.\u00a0 It is time we begin an open, honest, objective, and comprehensive discussion on the President\u2019s fitness to serve as our Commander in Chief.\u201d\r\nThe resolution to begin impeachment proceedings was tabled on a 365-58 vote.\u00a0 Over the last several months, Polis has attempted in every way possible to hold the Trump administration accountable.\u00a0 Among several other bills, he is a co-sponsor of the Protecting our Democracy Act, which would set up an independent investigation to thoroughly investigate Russian interference in the 2016 elections.\u00a0 In addition, he co-sponsored the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act, which would require the President and Vice President to disclose and divest from any investment that could present a conflict of interests, and also require the President and Vice President to disclose their three most recent tax returns.\u00a0\u00a0\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://polis.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398496"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7605378050357103, "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"}
