WASHINGTON – House Democrat Mark Pocan of Wisconsin called Tuesday for an impeachment inquiry, saying that “stonewalling” by President Donald Trump is “forcing us down the road to impeachment.”

This was Pocan’s full statement:

“Regrettably, the President’s most recent actions and continued disrespect for the Constitution are forcing us down the road to impeachment. Congress is a co-equal branch of government, charged with oversight of the Executive Branch and with the power to subpoena information and individuals. The President and his associates are engaging in a campaign of obstruction and lawlessness that undermines the rule of law and does not reflect the actions of someone who is ‘exonerated’ as innocent.

“Congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight and get the information we need to deliver the truth to the American public regarding Russia’s interference in our elections. Stonewalling Congress on witnesses and the unredacted Mueller report only enhances the President’s appearance of guilt, and as a result, he has pushed Congress to a point where we must start an impeachment inquiry.”

The question of impeachment has divided House Democrats since the release of the investigative report by special counsel Robert Mueller, and the debate has intensified since the President has blocked efforts by the House to obtain testimony and documents.

While some Democrats want the House to move toward impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not thrown her support behind that step.

Over the weekend, a Republican U.S. House member, Justin Amash of Michigan, declared on Twitter that Trump has engaged in "impeachable conduct," drawing fire from Trump and fellow Republicans in Congress.
