Every Texas Democrat in Congress joins call to impeach Trump
Hours before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, all 13 Texas Democrats in Congress said they were in favor of launching impeachment proceedings against the president or open to the idea.
The last six Texas holdouts — including two in vulnerable seats and one who backtracked after getting pushback from a primary opponent — joined a wave of Democrats who said Tuesday that they supported impeachment if Congress is not given a report on a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s contact with Ukraine’s president.
U.S. Reps. Colin Allred of Dallas and Lizzie Fletcher of Houston — Republican targets in 2020 after flipping GOP seats in the 2018 election — joined the call Tuesday morning.
“The law is clear that the director of national intelligence must provide Congress with a report of the whistleblower’s complaint,” Allred said in a statement. “If he does not, and this administration continues to violate the law and obstruct Congress’ constitutional duty, I will be forced to conclude that the only remaining option is for the House to begin impeachment proceedings.”
