Jason Nemes, R-Louisville, left presides over the impeachment committee on Friday in this KET screen capture. FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) - The Kentucky House Impeachment Committee met behind closed doors for about three hours on Friday, then emerged to announce two of the three impeachment petitions filed against Gov. Andy Beshear have been dismissed. The seven-member panel, consisting of four Republicans and three Democrats, was named by House Speaker David Osborne, R-Prospect, after four men filed an eight-count petition, in which they claimed closings, restrictions and other actions taken by the governor during the COVID-19 pandemic, were unconstitutional. One of the men has since withdrawn his name from the petition.
