Republican Attorneys General urge Senate to reject Articles of Impeachment
Last week, I joined Republican Attorneys General from 20 other states to submit a letter to the United States Senate, laying out the legal case for
rejecting the Democrat House articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump.
The Democrats have sidelined important work for the people of Mississippi and the nation in pursuing this hyper-partisan and baseless inquiry. Their
legal case lacks any foundation in law or fact, and the Senate should reject the House Articles and get back to work on the people’s business.
The letter was signed by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.
