'The intent was clear,' Pramila Jayapal told CNN. 'It was a corruption of our elections process.'
Trump's efforts to pressure Zelenskiy to announce investigations into discredited claims that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden acted corruptly toward Ukraine to benefit his son Hunter's business there, as well as a probe into a debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine and the Democrats, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election, led to the impeachment inquiry.
Multiple witnesses, who currently or previously served in Trump's administration, have also corroborated the existence of a"quid pro quo" connected to the pressure campaign.
President Donald Trump addresses the Israeli American Council National Summit 2019 at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida on December 7On Sunday, Trump lobbed a direct attack via Twitter at Jayapal and some of her Democratic colleagues, calling them"Radical Left Haters." Sharing the president's tweet, Jayapal tagged Trump and wrote:"While you're tweeting at us, Mr. President, we are working to uphold the Constitution and keep you accountable." She then invited him to"show up" to a hearing at the House Judiciary Committee, adding:"We have some questions about your abuse of power."
"The only thing radical—and unacceptable—is a President of the United States inviting foreign interference in our elections, the most sacred democratic institution," the congresswoman tweeted in a follow-up post.
