Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) released the following statement regarding a resolution from House Democrats that would allow their unconstitutional impeachment investigation to continue:

“The vote held today by House Democrats confirmed that they will continue their investigation totally behind closed doors and give Adam Schiff complete control over subpoenas and questioning of witnesses. It continues to violate the law and Constitution by refusing the President due process and ignores the precedent set during the previous three impeachment proceedings in our history by refusing all rights of the minority party in the House.  

“Instead of open, public hearings in the Judiciary Committee where impeachment proceedings belong, Chairman Schiff continues to operate in the shadows of the House Intelligence Committee, behind closed doors where they can keep all information from the American people. Even as a member of one of the Committees of jurisdiction, I have been repeatedly denied access to the transcripts and testimonies of the secret hearings. This investigation is an absolute sham and completely unconstitutional.”
