In an interview on ABC's "This Week" he also complained about a House resolution to formalize the impeachment investigation into President Trump that was passed mostly along party lines last week.

"The resolution they just passed, in a very partisan way, gives the chairman the full discretion to kick the president's legal counsel out of the room and to veto any witnesses that we would call," Scalise said.

“They didn’t accept any Republican amendments. They didn't negotiate with the White House on that resolution,” he added. “They don’t want fair rules, they just want to hurt President Trump's chances to win reelection."

"There are no high crimes and misdemeanors," Scalise continued.
