House Passes Impeachment Resolution on Stark Partisan Lines


Move marks first significant vote since probe began into Trump’s call for Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden

WASHINGTON—The House passed a resolution almost entirely along party lines to initiate the public phase of an inquiry into President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, setting a blueprint for the fourth presidential impeachment investigation in U.S. history.
The 232-196 vote underscored the sharp partisan divide in Washington over impeachment. All Democrats but two supported the measure while all Republicans rejected it. The House’s one independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, voted yes.
Though the move will make the investigation more public, including the likelihood of televised hearings, no time frame was given for when that will happen. The resolution authorizes the House Intelligence Committee to release transcripts from past closed-door interviews with witnesses and gives more power to Republicans, including the right to call their own witnesses, though those requests are subject to approval by Democrats.
“If we don’t have a system of checks and balances, we might as well all just elect a president and go home,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said ahead of the vote. She waved away GOP complaints, saying: “These rules are fairer than anything that has gone before in terms of an impeachment proceeding.”
The two Democrats who opposed the measure were Reps. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota, who both represent districts Mr. Trump won in 2016.
GOP lawmakers have kept a united front in objecting to the impeachment process, even as some have criticized Mr. Trump’s efforts to press Ukraine to launch investigations related to the 2016 U.S. election and Democratic rival Joe Biden. None have said they believe Mr. Trump has committed an impeachable offense.
After the vote, House Republicans’ campaign arm sent moving boxes to about 20 vulnerable Democrats’ offices, which caused Capitol Police concern. Republicans signaled they plan to make impeachment a line of attack in next year’s congressional elections.
“The new socialist democrats…they will be voting away their majority,” said Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, chairman of the Republican campaign arm.
Democrats, meantime, are buoyed by polling that shows growing support for impeachment. In a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 55% of participants said Congress should take up the Ukraine matter, with 31% supporting the House impeachment inquiry and 24% saying enough evidence exists already for lawmakers to remove Mr. Trump from office.
Democrats in competitive districts framed the vote Thursday as moving the investigation into the public sphere.
“I don’t care if you are a Democrat or a Republican, why do you not want to get to the truth,” said Rep. Cheri Bustos of Illinois, chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The Intelligence Committee is expected to refer its findings to the House Judiciary Committee.
The resolution passed Thursday will allow Mr. Trump and his counsel to attend all Judiciary Committee hearings, cross-examine witnesses and make closing presentations. Republicans and the White House criticized the resolution because it doesn’t give the president these rights while the investigation is run by the Intelligence Committee, as it currently is. Democrats argue this is because the probe remains in its information-gathering stage.
White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham slammed Democrats after the vote, accusing them of engaging in a “a blatantly partisan attempt to destroy the president.”
Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said voters “will punish Democrats who support this farce and President Trump will be easily re-elected.”
In the private depositions the House has conducted, Republicans and Democrats on the three committees of jurisdiction have had equal time to question witnesses, but lawmakers not on the panels have been excluded.
Conducting witness interviews behind closed doors has been common in high-profile investigations run by Republicans and Democrats. While not impeachment inquiries, under GOP leadership the Senate and House intelligence committees conducted separate reviews of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, largely interviewing witnesses in private. The GOP-run House also conducted an inquiry into the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, largely behind closed doors.

In the latest witness testimony, Tim Morrison, who oversaw National Security Council policy on Europe and Russia until he left the job Wednesday, said Thursday a U.S. diplomat told him a hold on U.S. aid to Ukraine was tied to efforts to push Kyiv to investigate Mr. Biden and his son, backing testimony of earlier witnesses in the House impeachment inquiry.

The Ukraine Witnesses

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) told CNN that Democrats expect to begin releasing transcripts of depositions as early as next week, but didn’t provide other details about when his panel would take steps to make the Democrats’ work more public. While those decisions are currently in Mr. Schiff’s hands, the Judiciary Committee will eventually hold its own public hearings as it weighs the evidence and decides how to incorporate the materials into what is widely expected to be articles of impeachment.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D., N.Y.) said he didn’t know how much time his committee would need to do its own work, but he said Mr. Trump was entitled to more rights once the impeachment proceedings shifted to his committee.
“It’s not the initial, fact-finding stage, and it’s proper that the president have more recourse at that point,” he said.
Mr. Schiff has said the lack of White House cooperation will be considered obstruction and additional evidence “of the wrongfulness of the president’s underlying misconduct.” Refusal by officials to comply with subpoenas could be included in the articles of impeachment, as it was for President Richard Nixon.
