Will you vote to convict Trump for illegally impounding funds?

To: Sen. Warner, Sen. Kaine

From: A constituent in Charlottesville, VA

August 6

The independent congressional watchdog, General Accounting Office (GAO), said that in terminating over 1,800 NIH grants in response to President Trump’s executive orders directing agencies to cut off federal funding for equity-related activities, the administration illegally withheld funds. In addition, the GAO found that the NIH’s $8 billion shortfall in new and continuing awards between February and July amounted to an illegal withholding of obligated funds. Trump was impeached in 2019, in part, for illegally impounding funds appropriated by Congress for the defense of Ukraine. The current widespread withholding of funds by Trump should result in his impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. Will you vote to convict if it comes to a vote in the senate?
