Indiana 8th District Congressman Larry Bucshon joined most Republicans in the U.S. House who voted against impeaching President Trump over last week’s deadly attack on the Capitol.
A statement from Bucshon’s office noted President Trump had only one week left in his administration and “a partisan impeachment is the last thing that our nation needs at this time.”
Bucshon also said impeachment should be a deliberate process involving committee consideration with witnesses and due process protections for the subject of impeachment.
Bucshon said this impeachment was neither deliberate nor the result of any process.
Bucshon did vote last week to accept the presidential election results.
In his statement, he said “we must come together as a nation as we prepare to move forward under the leadership of President-elect Joe Biden.”
