Himes Calls for Impeachment Hearings

Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, became the latest Democrat to publicly back launching impeachment proceedings against President Trump, The Hill reports.

Said Himes: “Those that know me know that I generally shy away from sharp partisanship in favor of the negotiation and compromise required for law to be made. But there are moments for calculation. For prudence, compromise and the careful weighing of competing interests. And there are moments for clarity and conviction. This is such a moment.”
