📖 Narrative

"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and his top deputies voted "present," avoiding taking a stand on the matter while allowing Republicans to more easily scuttle the resolution. Jeffries said in a statement that impeachment "traditionally requires a comprehensive investigative process, the collection and review of thousands of documents, an exacting scrutiny of the facts, the examination of dozens of key witnesses, congressional hearings, sustained public organizing and the marshaling of the forces of democracy to build a broad national consensus." "None of that serious work has been done, with the Republican majority focused solely on rubber-stamping Donald Trump’s extreme agenda," senior House Democratic leaders said."
