Washington (WBAP/KLIF) Dallas area Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe has joined President Trump’s impeachment defense team. The White House made the announcement last night. In a statement, Ratcliffe said, “I took an oath to defend the Constitution. This impeachment is an assault on due process. It’s an assault on the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutional. I’m grateful for the opportunity to make that clear to every American during the Senate trial.” Ratcliffe is a former federal prosecutor who President Trump picked last summer to be the new Director of National Intelligence. His nominations was dropped within a few days when Senators from both parties questioned his qualifications.
