After WH Releases Transcript, Stand Up America Renews Calls for Swift Impeachment Proceedings

WASHINGTON

Following the release of the transcript of the call between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, Stand Up America spokesperson Ryan Thomas released the following statement:

"This transcript is a smoking gun. It reveals that Donald Trump unquestionably asked the Ukrainian President to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. We've also learned that the Trump-appointed inspector general for the intelligence community made a criminal complaint regarding his behavior that was quashed by Trump's Department of Justice.

"This is blatantly impeachable conduct and Congress must swiftly act to draft articles of impeachment--and vote."

Stand Up America is a progressive advocacy organization with over two million community members across the country. Focused on grassroots advocacy to strengthen our democracy and oppose Trump's corrupt agenda, Stand Up America has driven over 600,000 phone calls to Congress and mobilized tens of thousands of protestors across the country.
