House Intelligence Committee

" Impeachment is] the most formidable weapon for the purposes of dominant faction that ever was contrived. It would be the most effectual one for getting rid of any man whom they consider as dangerous to their views, and I do not know that we could count on one-third in an emergency."--Thomas Jefferson, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 1798In December 2019, the US House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Democrat Adam Schiff, issued The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report, which was the beginning of the fourth impeachment procedure of a president in US history. This publication includes The Report of Evidence in the Democrats' Impeachment Inquiry in the House of Representatives, separately issued by the House Republicans as a minority report rebutting impeachment.

" Impeachment is] the most formidable weapon for the purposes of dominant faction that ever was contrived. It would be the most effectual one for getting rid of any man whom they consider as dangerous to their views, and I do not know that we could count on one-third in an emergency."--Thomas Jefferson, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 1798This publication offers a complete report of both House Committees on the impeachment of President Trump, the fourth US president to be impeached, including: Impeachment of Donald J. Trump by the US House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Democrat Jerry Nadler; The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report by the House Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Democrat Adam Schiff; and The Report of Evidence in the Democrats' Impeachment Inquiry in the House of Representatives, issued by the House Republicans as a minority report rebutting impeachment.

The official report from the House Intelligence Committee on Donald Trump's secret pressure campaign against Ukraine, featuring an exclusive introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and biographer Jon Meacham For only the fourth time in American history, the House of Representatives has conducted an impeachment inquiry into a sitting United States president. This landmark document details the findings of the House Intelligence Committee's historic investigation of whether President Donald J. Trump committed impeachable offenses when he sought to have Ukraine announce investigations of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Penetrating a dense web of connected activity by the president, his ambassador Gordon Sondland, his personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani, and many others, these pages offer a damning, blow-by-blow account of the president's attempts to "use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election" and his subsequent attempts to obstruct the House investigation into his actions. Published here with an introduction offering critical context from bestselling presidential historian Jon Meacham, The Impeachment Report is necessary reading for every American concerned about the fate of our democracy.

This report reflects the evidence gathered thus far by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, in coordination with the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Foreign Affairs, as part of the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States. The report is the culmination of an investigation that began in September 2019 and intensified over the past three months as new revelations and evidence of the President's misconduct towards Ukraine emerged. The Committees pursued the truth vigorously, but fairly, ensuring the full participation of both parties throughout the probe. Sustained by the tireless work of more than three dozen dedicated staff across the three Committees, they issued dozens of subpoenas for documents and testimony and took more than 100 hours of deposition from 17 witnesses. To provide the American people the opportunity to learn and evaluate the facts themselves, the Intelligence Committee held seven public hearings with 12 witnesses--including three requested by the Republican Minority--that totaled more than 30 hours. Each member of Congress will be faced with the choice of deciding which side of history they will be on. The fate of democracy in the United States and the course of our nation hangs in the balance. The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report is a must read.
