yesterday you heard an appointment of the president speak in very uncertain terms, a courageous public servant. the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery uncovered in the inquiry and the president abused power and violated his oath by threatening to withhold military aid. the white house needing an exchange for an investigation into his political rival. a clear attempt of the president to give himself the advantage in the 2020 election. doing so, said to the president, jeopardize our jashl security, jeopardize our electoral system, violate your oath of office. i salute chairman schiff for the states manship that he brought, the democrats for showing great patriotism and professionalism with which they are conducting the proceedings. i'm very proud of them.
