Steve King claims Democrats attempting to cover up their own crimes by impeaching Trump

by Dave Dreeszen


WASHINGTON -- As the U.S. House moved toward a historic impeachment vote Wednesday, Rep. Steve King rushed to President Donald Trump's defense, accusing Democrats of bringing impeachment charges to cover up "the largest and most massive cover-up of such a list of crimes against our country."

The House impeachment resolution accused Trump of abusing the power of his office by pressuring Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Democrats and his 2020 political rival Joe Biden, and then tried to obstruct the investigation in Congress like “no other'' president in history.

During Wednesday's debate, King took to the House floor to insist Democrats had it all backwards.

"And I would take you back to in October of 2015 when Barack Obama said, ‘Hillary Clinton would never intend to jeopardize our national security.’ Again, the following April, the next month, (former FBI agent) Peter Strzok wrote the statement that was delivered by (former FBI director) James Comey. And they’ve spent Democrat money and Hillary Clinton money in Russia to pick up dirt on Donald Trump! " King told the House.
