(SAN FRANCISCO, September 6, 2019) — Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer released the statement below following reports that the House Judiciary Committee is moving forward in formalizing their impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump:
"I welcome the news that Chairman Nadler and the House Judiciary Committee are finally moving forward on opening a formal impeachment inquiry into the crimes that Donald Trump has committed during his presidency. Trump's criminal actions, divisive rhetoric and rampant corruption are dividing the country, putting our economy and our elections at risk, and threatening the rule of law. It's time to hold the most corrupt president in history to account. No one is above the law."
