Issues: Executive Branch Legislative Branch

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

I am writing to you to express my concerns that House Democrats continue to conduct their partisan effort to impeach the President out of view of the American public. Though the affirmative House vote on H.Res. 660 was portrayed as a vote for transparency, it is clear that House Democrats intend to avoid a fully open and fair process.

We have a duty to uphold the principles of our Constitution and work responsibly to serve the interests of the American people. Accordingly, this process must be conducted transparently and fairly. I ask that you immediately release the full transcripts of all depositions taken since you pronounced the beginning of an impeachment inquiry on September 24, 2019 and commit to making public all future deposition transcripts.

If any redactions are made to transcripts prior to their publication all Members of the House must be supplied copies of the full and unredacted transcripts, as provided for in House Rule XI, Clause 2(e)(2)(A).
