Beyer To Hold Town Hall On Impeachment Investigation

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Democratic Rep. Don Beyer has announced an upcoming town hall on the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. The town hall will take place Thursday, Nov. 21 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the T.C. Williams High School auditorium, 3330 King Street, Alexandria.

The town hall will feature legal and national security experts available to answer questions about the impeachment investigation. The panelists will be announced in the coming days. Registration is free and open to all.

"My constituents have been extremely vocal about the process leading to a potential impeachment, and I want to make sure I do everything I can to make their voices heard in this process, answer their questions and tell them what I am hearing and thinking," said Beyer, who represents Alexandria, Arlington County, Falls Church and part of Fairfax County in the 8th congressional district of Virginia. "I hope this town hall will be helpful for everyone who attends, whatever their views or political affiliation may be."

In September, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry of the president. Some Democrats had previously called for an impeachment investigation, but House leadership decided after a revelation about Trump's call with the Ukrainian president. Investigations have centered on how Trump urged Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

An inquiry does not mean impeachment is happening now. If the investigation finds enough evidence, legislators can write articles of impeachment. According to the Washington Post, the Judiciary Committee and full House would have to vote on impeachment. Impeachment does not remove a president from office; a Senate trial would need to happen. The House voted along party lines in late October to move to public hearings.
