PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Local Congressman Conor Lamb’s neutral stance on an impeachment inquiry has changed.
In an interview with the Post-Gazette Lamb said he “absolutely” supports House Democrats investigating President Donald Trump to find out if he pressured Ukrainian leaders to investigate Joe Biden and his son.
Lamb released the follow statement on Friday:
“Congress must continue our work to get the truth. I fully support the House Intelligence Committee’s inquiry, and I believe that at each step of the way we must follow the evidence where it leads.
“Every member of Congress and the President has taken an oath to defend this country, and that is why this investigation is so important. Our work must be focused only on facts, not partisanship.”
Lamb had previously been withholding his support of an injury but after reading the whistleblower’s complaint on Thursday says it changed his mind.
Fellow Pittsburgh-area Congressman are divided on the issue.
Democrat Rep. Mike Doyle supports the impeachment proceedings and Republican Guy Reschenthaler says it would be a waste of time.
