In the wake of the United
States House of Representatives’
expansion of its far-reaching
impeachment probe of the
Trump administration, Brooklyn
Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke
sounded the alarm Sunday that
the US is in a constitutional crisis.
“Many of you are wondering
what’s going on in Washington,
D.C.,” said Clarke, representative
for the 9th Congressional
District in Brooklyn, in addressing
the 36th Annual Gala and
Awards Ceremony and the 40th
anniversary of St. Vincent and
the Grenadines’ political independence
from Great Britain of
the Brooklyn-based group Vincentian
American Independent
National Charities, Inc. (VINCI)
at El Caribe Country Club in
Brooklyn.
“It’s important that we not
normalize what’s happening in
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,” added
Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican
immigrants, referring to the
address of the White House in
Washington, D.C.
“We’re in the midst of a constitutional
crisis in the United
States of America, and we have
to be sober about what’s taking
place,” the congresswoman
declared. “We should not, in any
way, see this as a joke. Doing so
will be to our own peril. Doing so
will be nothing short of tyranny.
“In 2017, I knew then what
many are fighting out now – that
we have someone who’s corrupt,”
she continued. “And there’s only
one remedy for this is the US
Constitution.
“I don’t want to make light of
this,” Clarke stressed. “Donald
Trump is quite capable of repeating
what he did in 2016 of disrupting
the American elections.
So, I want everyone to focus to
see what he’s doing, because desperate
people will do desperate
things.”
She also brought to patrons’
attention the Trump administration’s
unrelenting onslaught
on Caribbean and other immigrants,

stating: “As we sit here,
there are many being tracked by
ICE (the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agency).
“I want to encourage you,
these days, know your power,”
Clarke urged. “As we sit in the
belly of the beast, know that
you have the power to make the
change.
“Let Donald Trump know that
we’re no shrinking violet,” she
said. “We’re not, in any form,
fearful of his criminality.
“Don’t forget to vote,” Clarke
added. “Fill out the Census form.
We have a nation to build.”
In its fast-moving, expanding
probe, the US House of Representatives
on Monday issued
subpoenas to the US Defense
Department and the US Office
of Management and Budget for
documents that could determine
whether President Trump’s decision
to withhold security aid for
Ukraine was linked to his bid
to pressure the Government of
Ukraine to investigate Trump’s
Democratic political rival, former

Two senior US diplomats are
also expected this week to speak
with investigators, as the House
seeks to validate claims, for President
Trump’s possible impeachment,
over his alleged actions
with Ukraine.
Three committees in the
House of Representatives are
scrutinizing Trump’s actions in
the wake of a whistle blower’s
complaint.
But the US president has
described the investigation as
a “fraud, a scam and a witch
hunt.”
“People understand it’s a fraud,
it’s a scam, it’s a witch hunt, and
all we do is keep fighting for the
American people, because that’s
all I do,” said Trump Monday at
the White House.
