House Republicans are pushing for impeachment proceedings.
DENVER — House Speaker Julie McCluskie has the final say on whether to introduce a resolution sought by the House GOP caucus that would attempt to impeach Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Attorney General Phil Weiser said.
McCluskie, in a statement to Colorado Politics, said she appreciates “the Attorney General’s analysis of what may constitute malfeasance in office and what precedents, statutes and rules exist that may guide our actions on this proposed resolution, and I am taking it under advisement.”
“I continue to consider what is in the best interests of the House and this institution, and I will communicate next steps to my caucus and the Minority as soon as I have decided how we will proceed,” she said.
McCluskie added she believes the resolution is an “unwarranted waste of time.”
Earlier this month, House Republicans sent a letter to McCluskie, asking her to allow their resolution and articles of impeachment to be introduced in the House. McCluskie, after meeting with House GOP members, asked Weiser to weigh in.
