As the House Democrats move their impeachment inquiry against President Trump to the House Judiciary Committee, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said Wednesday that their efforts to convince observers that the president committed an impeachable offense failed and they are lacking “allies” and “bipartisanship.”“This is a one-party partisan push and that is never the stuff of impeachment,” Fleischer told “The Story.”Fleischer noted that there were Democrats who voted against the impeachment inquiry. That call prompted a whistleblower complaint to the intelligence community inspector general, and in turn, the impeachment inquiry in the House. Trump challenged the accuracy of the complaint, though the transcript released by the White House did support the core allegations that he pressed for politically related investigations.
