Eren Sengezer FXStreet

Adam Schiff, Representing California's 28th Congressional District and Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, crossed the wires, noting that an impeachment cannot be perceived as an effort to nullify the election by other means.

Key quotes:

Impeachment is not something I believe people should wish for, whether you like or dislike the president
We ought to undertake our constitutional obligations to find the evidence and follow the evidence
We are a long way of knowing the facts at this point
