Rep. Gianforte voting no on impeachment articles; calls process a “sham”
Montana’s only congressman, Republican Greg Gianforte, said Friday he’ll be voting “no” on two articles of impeachment of President Trump when they hit the floor next week, calling the impeachment inquiry “a sham since day one.”
“Since just after the (2016) election, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have been trying to undo the valid election,” he told MTN News in an interview. “I don’t think there’s a basis for impeachment. We have elections to elect the president.”
The articles approved Friday by the House Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote say Trump abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to open investigations into his political rivals and then obstructed Congress by blocking its access to witnesses and documents.
