Newhouse Statement on Impeachment Resolution Vote

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement after voting against H.Res 660:

"I will not vote to rubberstamp the House Democrats' closed-door impeachment hearings. The process approved today by House Democrats keeps Members of Congress and the millions of Americans they represent in the dark," said Rep. Newhouse. "This resolution greenlights a flawed, unprecedented process that gives Chairman Schiff complete control, continues to limit the ability of Republicans to fully participate in hearings, and denies basic due process rights to the president and his counsel. I voted against the resolution because the American people deserve transparent and fair proceedings."
