U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) today issued the following statement about his support for Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States: By withholding $400 million Ukraine desperately needed to defend itself against Russia until Ukraine did the President's political bidding, the President committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors for which he should be impeached. This abuse of power is compounded by the President's refusal to cooperate with Congress' impeachment investigation and his stonewalling of witnesses from testifying or turning over documents. The Founders fought and died for freedom and independence from a tyrannical ruler and foreign government. Impeachment and removal from office was the remedy they included in the Constitution to act as a check on a President who placed himself above the law, abused his power for his own personal benefit, and invited foreign governments to get involved in our domestic affairs, especially our elections. For the sake of the Constitution, fair elections free of foreign interference, and our national security, President Trump should be impeached.
