WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Adrian Smith spoke on the floor of the US House Wednesday opposing the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

“This lopsided and hyper-partisan, biased impeachment process has been predetermined as an outcome from the very beginning. This is an unfortunate day in the history of our great country. We must hope that political gain does not set a precedent of which to follow in the future.”

He said the articles of impeachment offer no evidence of a crime, but are instead purposely broad to fit a narrative advanced by the President’s opponents.
