Sen. Lee Statement on Impeachment
Dec 19, 2019
“Yesterday was a sad day for our republic. A president of the United States was impeached along partisan lines for purely partisan political reasons.”
“President Trump has done nothing wrong. All he did was ask the Ukrainian government to investigate a corrupt Ukrainian energy company. There was nothing wrong with that request. In fact, the Obama administration tried to get Ukraine to investigate the exact same energy company. The only difference is that Trump succeeded where Obama failed. Ukraine is finally investigating Burisma.”
