Kustoff’s Statement on Speaker Pelosi Launching Impeachment Inquiry into President Trump

September 24, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08), issued the following statement following Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry:

"Following two years of failed investigations into President Trump and three already failed impeachment votes, Nancy Pelosi is now making the reckless and irresponsible call for a formal impeachment of the President of the United States over unconfirmed and unsubstantiated accusations. Our constitutional duty as Members of Congress should not be abused in order to settle political scores. The call for impeachment sets a dangerous precedent. If this is the standard, then every president should be on impeachment watch," said Rep. David Kustoff. "You elected me to Congress to legislate, not waste time and resources on baseless political investigations. The people of West Tennessee and our nation deserve better than this."
