The City Council of the City of West Hollywood unanimously adopted a Resolution in Support of the Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump. The City of West Hollywood’s Resolution was approved at the regular meeting of the City Council on Monday, October 7, 2019.

On Tuesday, September 24, 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the U.S. House of Representatives would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump in response to a July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a subsequent whistleblower complaint.

“History will remember what actions we took in this moment to protect our democracy and our government from corruption,” said West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tempore Lindsey P. Horvath. “We cannot allow this President to betray our country for his personal or political gain. I’m proud to author this Resolution and to have the City of West Hollywood on record in support of the impeachment inquiry.”

The City of West Hollywood will send copies of its Resolution to President Trump; U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Congressmember Adam Schiff; leadership of both parties; and others, as appropriate.
