From the Lexington Herald-Leader: How did Kentucky congressmen vote on Trump’s impeachment?
By MIKE STUNSON
Each Kentucky congressman voted along party lines Wednesday in the House of Representatives’ impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Rep. John Yarmuth, the state’s lone Democrat on Capitol Hill, was the only Kentuckian to vote to impeach the president. The Louisville congressman, who represents the state’s 3rd Congressional District, stated his intention by saying evidence of Trump’s “attempt to extort Ukraine’s president for political gain is overwhelming.”
“Far from an isolated incident, these crimes are an exclamation point on his continued abuse of the presidency, which, left unchecked, would shatter the foundation of our constitutional system, and thus American democracy,” Yarmuth said in a statement.
