WASHINGTON, D. C. - U.S. House Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., issued the following statement on Senate Republicans’ actions in the senate impeachment trial.

“This is a dark moment. President Trump corrupted this country’s rule of law when he put his interests ahead of the country’s to advance his own political needs. The evidence of his wrongdoing is undeniable.

“Despite today’s (Feb. 5) deeply disappointing outcome, President Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. That will be his lasting legacy.

“As for the Senate Republicans who cowered instead of doing the right thing, history will not be kind to those who sold out our democracy for political expediency.”
