U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement after House Democrats introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump:
“As Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler release their articles of impeachment, there is less support for impeachment today among the American people – and even among House Democrats – than there was when their sham proceedings began.
“Radical Democrats have vowed and voted to impeach President Donald Trump since the day of his election, and now they are pulling the trigger on what was described in our House Judiciary Committee by one of the expert witnesses as 'the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president.'
"The founders of this country feared a single-party impeachment because it would bitterly, and perhaps irreparably, divide our nation. Nancy Pelosi and her radical lieutenants simply don't care. This will backfire on them politically, but it will do serious harm to America in the process."
