Representative Adriano Espaillat Statement on The Appointment of House Impeachment Managers by Speaker Pelosi

Statement

Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement on the appointment of Impeachment Managers by Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

"I have full confidence in my House Democratic colleagues who have been appointed by Speaker Pelosi as managers of the impeachment trial of President Trump to ensure the process is fair and transparent as it moves forward. The American people expect senators to do their duty and conduct a fair trial -- and they deserve nothing less," said Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13).

"A rush to acquittal will be viewed as a cover up and will do nothing to clear the president of blame in the eyes of the American people. The Impeachment Managers represent the depth and diversity of our Democratic Caucus and reflect years of solid and sound judgement. Collectively, they will uphold the American values and represent the House of Representatives honorably during the upcoming Senate impeachment trial."
