The filing of new impeachment complaints against the Vice President comes as no surprise, lawyer Michael Pao of the defense team said, through a statement from the Office of the Vice President (OVP).
As the Supreme Court has recently emphasized, impeachment is “not merely a political process initiated by mere allegations or by perceived public acclaim shaped by the propagandistic effect of timed press releases or irresponsible viral posts on social media.” It is a constitutional mechanism governed by standards, evidence, and due process, he said.
We are prepared to confront these allegations squarely through the proper constitutional processes, confident that a fair and impartial review will demonstrate that the accusations are devoid of both factual and legal basis, Poa added.*
