Terri Sewell (AL-07) released the following statement Tuesday on an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump:\nThis is a sobering moment in our nation's history, when the rule of law and constitutional duty require Congress to move swiftly to protect our national security and the integrity of our democracy.\nThe President, by his own admission, has put Congress in an untenable position. Yesterday, the President admitted to asking the Ukrainian government to interfere with a political rival and threatened to withhold critical military aid to our ally if their government did not comply with his demand.\nThe events surrounding the whistleblower complaint are the final straw in a series of troubling and disconcerting actions by President Trump and his administration.\nThis failure of the Trump Administration to disclose the whistleblower complaint to Congress flies in the face of the intent of the law; the President's stunning admission shows a complete disregard for the constitutional duties he has sworn to uphold.\nNo one is above the law, including the President of the United States of America.", 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://sewell.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-sewell-statement-impeachment-inquiry"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9493348188698292, "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"}
