Donald Trump must testify under oath
Our elected representatives in Congress have a right to ask President Trump questions about his conduct in office -- and he must answer them under oath.
Why is this important?
We’ve heard from multiple witnesses in the House’s impeachment investigation into President Trump. And they’ve each given us a crucial look into the president’s troubling conduct.
But there’s one key player who has yet to be questioned -- and the American people deserve to hear what he has to say: President Trump himself.
Trump has told lie after lie to the public to cover up his repeated abuses of power. That’s why he must testify before Congress -- and swear under penalty of perjury that he’s telling the truth.
The American people deserve to hear from Trump under oath on questions like:
- When will you release the full, un-redacted transcripts from your calls with the Ukrainian president?
- Is it acceptable for candidates to solicit campaign help from a foreign entity?
- When will you release your tax returns, as you’ve publicly said you’ll do?
Both President Nixon and President Clinton gave depositions around their impeachment inquiries. And Democrats have the power to call Trump to testify right now. He can either comply, or admit he’s not prepared to do that -- which will speak volumes.
The impeachment process is meant to educate the American people, so they can be active participants in judging the facts and making a decision. But that can’t happen as long as Trump has free rein to lie to the public -- so it’s time for Congress to compel Trump’s sworn testimony and get the genuine truth, or make Trump face legal consequences if he lies.
Add your name to tell Congress: make President Trump face the American people -- and give a deposition under oath.
