Local politicians respond: House moves on impeachment inquiry of President Trump

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

"I commend Speaker Pelosi for moving forward with an impeachment inquiry," said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. "The President admitted to asking a foreign government to investigate a political adversary. He must be held accountable for this impeachable offense, along with his many other wrongdoings that have betrayed the trust of the American people and undermined our democracy."

Bonamici first came out in support of an impeachment inquiry in May. She has repeatedly reiterated her support for beginning an inquiry, including following the recent reports about Trump's improper phone call with the President of Ukraine.
