WASHINGTON—In an effort to
hold those responsible to full account, congressional Democrats issued a
resolution Monday condemning Ukraine for its role in making it harder to avoid
impeaching President Trump.
“It’s completely unacceptable
for Ukraine’s leaders to engage in these potentially criminal talks that have
pushed us perilously close to taking action against the president,” said House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, telling reporters that the bill, H.R. 2995, would “send a
powerful message” to any nation or individual who would attempt to force
Democrats’ hands at conducting oversight.
“If these allegations are true
that Ukraine allowed itself to be blackmailed by President Trump, we have no
choice but to denounce these actions in the strongest possible terms. It’s
deeply reckless for Ukraine to push us towards investigating criminal behavior,
especially so close to an election year, and we hope this resolution will put an
end to that.”
At press time, Pelosi had
expressed her satisfaction that the bill had been approved after receiving
widespread Republican support.
