Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Hearing with Joseph B. Maher October 2, 2020 Welcome to another hearing of the Trump Impeachment Committee, formerly known as the House Intelligence Committee. I’ll begin by noting that there’s no reason for this hearing to be held in public except to try to stir up media interest in the Democrats’ latest publicity stunt—their attack on the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. The only reason Mr. Maher was subpoenaed to be here today was as le...

Today, Congressman Devin Nunes introduced the Holding China Accountable Act in the House of Representatives. Communist China continually and shamelessly steals American technological innovation and proprietary information to benefit the regime in Beijing and the state-run companies it operates. The years-long campaign of theft and espionage has continued despite repeated warnings by the U.S. government, the adoption of counter-measures, and the prosecution of individuals engaged in espionage and...

All nine Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee today issued the following statement: "Britain’s decision to allow Huawei to help build its 5G network is deeply concerning. China is seeking to dominate global telecommunication infrastructure for strategic reasons, not commercial ones—a fact that the Chinese government has made plain. Huawei is not simply a telecommunications company based in China. It is subject to the control of the Chinese government, one of the world’s most ag...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Hill and Holmes Hearing on Impeachment November 21, 2019 Throughout these bizarre hearings, the Democrats have struggled to make the case that President Trump committed some impeachable offense on his phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. The offense itself changes depending on the day, ranging from a quid pro quo, to extortion, to bribery, to obstruction of justice, then back to quid pro quo. It’s clear why the Democrats have been forced onto this ...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Sondland Hearing on Impeachment November 20, 2019 As I’ve noted before, the Democrats on this committee spent three years accusing President Trump of being a Russian agent. In March 2018, after a year-long investigation, Committee Republicans issued a 240-page report describing in detail how the Russians meddled in the 2016 elections and making specific recommendations to improve our election security. Denouncing the report as a whitewash and accusing Repub...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Cooper and Hale Hearing on Impeachment November 20, 2019 As we Republicans have argued at these hearings, the American people are getting a skewed impression of these events. That’s because the Democrats assumed full authority to call witnesses, and they promptly rejected any new witnesses the Republicans requested. So I’d like to take a moment to discuss a few of the people whose testimony has been deemed unacceptable for the American people to hear. The W...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Vindman and Williams Hearing on Impeachment November 19, 2019 I’d like to address a few brief words to the American people watching at home. If you watched the impeachment hearings last week, you may have noticed a disconnect between what you actually saw and the mainstream media accounts describing it. What you saw were three diplomats, who dislike the President’s Ukraine policy, discussing second-hand and third-hand conversations about their objections. M...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Morrison and Volker Hearing on Impeachment November 19, 2019 Welcome back to the circus, ladies and gentlemen. We are here to continue what Democrats tell us is a serious, somber, and even “prayerful” process of attempting to overthrow a duly elected president. If they’re successful, the end result would be to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans who thought the president is chosen by the American people—not by thirteen Democrat partisans on a commi...

Rep. Devin Nunes Opening Statement for Yovanovitch Hearing on Impeachment November 15, 2019 It’s unfortunate that today, and for most of next week, we will continue engaging in the Democrats’ day-long TV spectacles instead of solving the problems we were all sent to Washington to address. We now have a major trade agreement with Canada and Mexico ready for approval—a deal that would create jobs and boost our economy. Meanwhile, we have not yet approved funding for the government which expires ne...
