Washington • Rep. Chris Stewart said Thursday that it’s “good news” that the impeachment inquiry is nearing its end in the House and will go to a Senate trial because then the truth will come out.
“Everyone knows what they're going to do next,” Stewart, R-Utah, said of Democrats on the last day of public hearings in this phase of the impeachment inquiry. “They're going to impeach the president. They're going to send it on to the Senate. But that is the good news. That's good news.”
Stewart, who used his bully pulpit during the public hearings before the House Intelligence Committee to defend Trump and castigate the impeachment process, said that Democrats uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by the president: no bribery, no extortion and no “firsthand” knowledge of a quid pro quo in the president asking his Ukrainian counterpart for a favor to dig up on a political rival.
