A resolution in support of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump was unanimously passed by the West Hollywood City Council during its meeting on Monday, Oct. 7.

Initiated by Mayor Pro Tem Lindsey P. Horvath, the resolution, in addition to supporting the impeachment inquiry, will also direct staff to send copies of the resolution to Trump, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and Kamala Harris (D-California), U.S. Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) and other Congressional and federal administration officials. Additional direction was given to contact leadership of both parties to alert them of the resolution, Horvath said.

Horvath considered the unanimous support from the City Council as a “victory.”

“History will remember what actions we took in this moment to protect our democracy and our government from corruption,” Horvath said. “We cannot allow this president to betray our country for his personal or political gain. I’m proud to author this resolution and to have the city of West Hollywood on record in support of the impeachment inquiry.”

West Hollywood Mayor John D’Amico and Councilwoman Lauren Meister also offered support of the resolution.

“It is time to remove Donald Trump from the presidency. He has lost his way and by extension is dragging our country in the wrong direction,” D’Amico said.

“No one is above the law, not even the president,” Meister said. “Using the presidency to take down a political rival or for personal gain is unethical and illegal.”

The West Hollywood resolution came after Pelosi announced on Sept. 24 that the U.S. House of Representatives would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump after a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a whistleblower complaint accused Trump of trying to pressure Zelensky in helping investigate 2020 rival former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as the White House attempting to lock down records of the phone conversation.

In a reconstruction of the phone call based on notes and recollections of Situation Room duty officers and national security staff, Trump urged Zelensky to work with Attorney General William Barr and Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on potential corruption investigations connected to Biden and a theory about stolen Democratic emails in 2016.

The unnamed whistleblower, an intelligence official, filed a complaint on Aug. 12 after hearing accounts from U.S. officials that the president used his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.

According to the whistleblower, officials were directed to remove the electronic transcript from the computer system and load the transcript into a separate system reserved for classified information, which allegedly is not the first time the administration moved a presidential transcript into a separate system to protect politically sensitive information.

A second whistleblower came forward on Oct. 5 with more allegations regarding the July 25 phone call.

Trump has refused cooperation with the impeachment inquiry, and the White House released an eight-page letter on Oct. 8 stating that it wouldn’t release documents sought in the inquiry.
