This California Republican voted to impeach Trump. Now he’s helping others who voted same way

WASHINGTON – A month after Rep. David Valadao was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump, his political action committee gave $1,000 to each of eight of his fellow GOP members of Congress who voted his way, Federal Election Commission records show.

In turn, Valadao’s campaign has received a total of $24,000 from the House members who voted for impeachment and a senator who voted to find Trump guilty. He got another $4,500 from two congressmen who co-sponsored a bid to censure Trump.

Valadao, R-Calif., will be a “special guest” at a fundraiser in Washington state next month for Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of the Republicans who backed impeachment.
