Kaine Statement On House Impeachment Inquiry

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Kaine released the following statement today on the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump:

“The House had no choice but to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry. When a member of President Trump’s own national security team takes the unprecedented step of filing an urgent and credible whistleblower complaint over the President’s improper behavior, it should set off alarm bells for every American. And when his Administration tries to violate the law requiring that the whistleblower report be provided to Congress, those alarm bells grow louder. The time for stonewalling is over, and the public deserves to see the President held accountable for his actions.”
