US representative Jasmine Crockett , D-Dallas, on Monday, said that she would "absolutely" do the inquiry in the potential impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump if elected to a high-ranking.
Crockett seeks to become the leading Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee , the primary investigative committee in the lower chamber.
When asked about the possibility of pursuing impeachment against Trump, Crockett replied, "I would absolutely. At least do an inquiry. Absolutely. I mean, I think that there's more than enough to inquire about. You know, we know. Well, we don't know."
"Such as this $400 million plane from the Qataris and whether or not that's a violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution. I think that we need to dig into all this crypto nonsense that he's got going on. I think we need to dig into the fact that it looks like he's giving out pardons for play." She said while having a conversation on Wafaa's ' Inside Texas Politics.'
Drawing from her background as a public defender and civil rights attorney, Representative Crockett asserts that her trial lawyer experience qualifies her as the ideal candidate, highlighting her expertise in case development and defence.
"Once we get to the majority, which I'm hoping and praying we get to, next cycle, that allows me to start to open up and do the things that would look like an impeachment," the Democrat told on Inside Texas Politics. "Now, whether or not we would put it to a vote, you know, he's been impeached twice, couldn't get convicted. There's a lot of things to consider about whether or not to go forward."
Regarding the recent GOP budget bill that passed the U.S. House by a single vote, Crockett expressed strong opposition, citing its impact on Texas' 30th Congressional District.
She indicated the legislation would remove healthcare access from 14 million Americans, including 130,000 individuals losing Medicaid coverage in her district. Additionally, Crockett notes the bill would affect food security for three million Americans, with 115,000 of her constituents who depend on SNAP facing potential impacts.
During her district visit coinciding with our interview, Crockett engaged with constituents about the bill.
"The number one question I had is do people understand why this bill is bad and why there is nothing beautiful in it," Crockett said. "And I can tell you that Texas 30, God bless 'em because they listen to real news, and they absolutely understand that these cuts are devastating and there is no good reason for the cuts."
