BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, a whistleblower brought a complaint to the DNI, who sent it to the inspector general-- that they found to be a credible person and a credible complaint threatening the security of our country--that a phone conversation had taken place between our President and the President of Ukraine suggesting that he should, the President of Ukraine, go into a criminal investigation that would affect the election of 2020, and conditioned it through actions on military aid to Ukraine.

This is suborning the Constitution and threatening our national security.

Mr. Speaker, I commend Speaker Pelosi for calling for an impeachment inquiry. It is the right time. It is the right issue. This is an egregious subversion of our Constitution.

Long may the United States survive and live as a true democracy.
