WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today issued the following statement following a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to launch an impeachment inquiry against President Donald J. Trump:

“Today’s vote on impeachment in the House of Representatives will do nothing to ensure due process or even the pretense of fairness. It merely codifies the politically-motivated and one-sided inquiry already underway. Democrats in the House have shown by their actions that they are only interested in conducting a partisan show trial to remove a duly-elected president from office.”
