Rep. Johnson Votes in Favor of Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04), a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, voted in favor of Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump in Judiciary Committee. The Articles, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, now go to the full House for a vote.

"The facts are clear. President Trump undermined America's foreign policy to pursue what his own National Security staff called a "domestic political errand." He withheld military aid, putting America's national security at risk, in what his handpicked ambassador called "a quid pro quo."

"President Trump didn't just abuse his power with Ukraine. He made them an offer they couldn't refuse: help me get re-elected, or you won't get the assistance you desperately need from the United States.

"Then he tried to cover it up.

"I choose to put the law above the president. I choose to put my oath above political ambition. I choose to put the country I love above the interests of just one man."
