Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to support President Donald J. Trump.

The Democrats' entire impeachment process has been a sham since day one. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who was in charge of leading the inquiry, has lied to the American people.

Chairman Schiff made up his own version of the President's call with Ukraine. He lied about his dealings with the whistleblower and has misled the country about the Trump campaign and Russia for years.

Unfortunately, House Democrats again put partisan politics over the good of our Nation last night by blocking a vote to censure and condemn Adam Schiff. The chairman in charge of this ridiculous impeachment inquiry must be held accountable for blatantly misleading the American people.

We have all seen the transcript of the call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine. There was nothing there. So my Democratic colleagues are left with making up their own stories and seeing what people will believe.

Democrats won't even allow noncommittee members to attend depositions and interviews, nor will they specify their authority to do so.

Madam Speaker, our country deserves better.
