| https://roe.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=400678 | Roe: No Evidence, Yet They Proceed With Impeachment | 2019-12-05 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Republican | House | TN | Phil Roe | R000582 | roe.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after Speaker Pelosi directed the House committees to draft articles of impeachment: The Democrats' sham impeachment inquiry has produced zero witnesses who have witnessed any crimes. These political hearings have exposed there are numerous officials who disagree with the president's foreign policy objectives, but disagreement is not grounds for removing a duly-elected president from office. House Democrats have wanted to impeach Donald Trump from the moment they were elected to the majority and it comes as no surprise to anyone who has watched this process that this is where we have ended up. These key facts remain: President Trump and President Zelensky agree there was no pressure to initiate investigations. The transcripts of their calls, which House Democrats originally called a smoking gun, do not show any pressure. President Zelensky did not know aid was under review when the call occurred, and the aid was released to Ukraine without any investigation or official action being taken. Speaker Pelosi once said, [I]mpeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path.' I agree with the Speaker's assessment. This inquiry is a national disgrace, and I will continue to fight against this purely political impeachment effort. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
