Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of justice. U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03)'s speech printed in theCongressional Recordis as follows: "Thank you, Madam Speaker I rise today a day that will certainly be looked back upon by future generations. Many years from now, when conspiracy theories are put aside and the truth made plain, the American people will know that President Trump broke his oath, abused the power of that great office, and thought himself above the law. But they will also know that many members of this body the People's House kept their oath to defend the Constitution and held President Trump accountable. History will note each of our names and where we stood today for democracy, for justice, and for this great country. When we vote to impeach this president this evening, I can tell you that I will do so with a clear conscience and with the full confidence that future generations will judge us on the right side of history. Thank you, and I yield back." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
