Young Backs Senate Resolution Criticizing Impeachment Process

The resolution calls on the House of Representatives to hold a full vote of its members to formally open an impeachment inquiry of President Trump.

“Well I think due process is really important, that’s something we learned during the Kavanaugh hearing, a lot of emphasis on following the appropriate process," Young says. "I would look back to the Clinton impeachment, the Nixon impeachment.”

The resolution says President Trump is not being given the same due process President Clinton was afforded during his 1998 impeachment.

It also calls for the House to allow President Trump to confront his accusers and provide his own witnesses.

Young says while he supports the resolution, he wants to focus on workforce development, which was the purpose of his trip to Indianapolis Friday.

Indiana’s Junior Senator Mike Braun also signed the resolution.
