Press Releases

After the Republican-led House today approved a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden without any evidence, Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree released the following statement:

“House Republicans’ drive to impeach President Biden is based on zero evidence. After months of committee investigations and fishing expeditions, House Republicans have uncovered no proof of criminal or actionable conduct by the President. The probes have been so unsuccessful and so farcical that Republicans have now resorted to holding their hearings in secret, behind closed doors, to avoid embarrassment. Republicans are even refusing to release transcripts of these hearings. It would be laughable if the matter at hand were not so momentous. America and the world face a litany of urgent challenges at our doorstep. House Republicans are ignoring them to instead focus our precious time on attacking the President and his family to gratify the demands of Donald Trump and far-right extremists. It is outrageous and all Americans should know it. This shameful partisan impeachment does not do one single positive thing, but it is an appropriate bookend to the least productive congressional session in modern history foisted on America by House Republicans.”
