Congressman Biggs Cosponsors Impeachment Articles for Rod Rosenstein

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mark Meadows and Congressman Jim Jordan introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Congressman Biggs, a cosponsor, released the following statement:

"Congress gave Mr. Rosenstein plenty of time to comply with our requests. We have been reasonable and up front with him. Unfortunately, at almost every opportunity, Mr. Rosenstein has resisted and defied Congress's constitutional oversight. His time to obstruct our investigations has expired.

"Mr. Rosenstein's Department is subject to constitutional checks and balances. I call on my colleagues to assert our constitutional responsibility and approve these articles of impeachment."
