The Honorable Kevin McCarthy
Republican Leader
H-204, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Leader McCarthy:

As Members of Congress, we take a solemn oath to support and defend the
Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The existing rules of the House provide House Committees with full authority
to conduct investigations for all matters under their jurisdiction, including
impeachment investigations. There is no requirement under the Constitution,
under House Rules, or House precedent that the whole House vote before
proceeding with an impeachment inquiry.

As you know, our Founders were specifically intent on ensuring that foreign
entities did not undermine the integrity of our elections. I received your letter
this morning shortly after the world witnessed President Trump on national
television asking yet another foreign power to interfere in the upcoming 2020
elections. We hope you and other Republicans share our commitment to
following the facts, upholding the Constitution, protecting our national
security, and defending the integrity of our elections at such a serious moment
in our nation's history.

                             best regards,



                             Speaker of the House
