Cole Statement on House Transmission of Impeachment Articles to Senate

January 15, 2020

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally allowed a House vote to name impeachment managers and send Democrats' two impeachment articles to the Senate. Speaker Pelosi has withheld the articles for four weeks.

"After House Democrats' unfair and partisan rush to impeach the president last year, it is well past time that Speaker Pelosi release their so-called urgent articles to the Senate. As I have said before, Speaker Pelosi's weeks long delay in an attempt to dictate the terms of the Senate trial is the height of political hypocrisy. Moreover, it shows that House Democrats know they failed to prove their impeachment case against President Trump."
