California Rep. Ro Khanna says impeachment vote is likely before end of 2019.
California Rep. Ro Khanna said Wednesday he would be surprised if the impeachment inquiry didn't end with a vote on articles, opening the door for a formal vote to impeach President Donald Trump.
The inquiry, launched Sept. 24 by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, began after reports that a whistleblower had filed a complaint expressing national security concerns regarding a July phone call Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The White House released a transcript of the call on Sept. 25, corroborating information found in the whistleblower's complaint.
The information in the call was"an abuse of office and we can't tolerate a compromise of our national security, and if we get the facts and we wrap it up before this year, then I think people will say the 'Democrats are standing up for the Constitution, they're standing up for our values and we'll respect that'," Khanna said."But I do think the way we conduct ourselves is going to matter.
"That in itself is an abuse of his office," the congressman said."He's admitted that. He's bragged about doing that and it's unconstitutional."
