House passes impeachment rules. Ben McAdams votes for it, Utah’s GOP members oppose it.

Washington • Utah’s Republican House members on Thursday opposed a resolution setting guidelines for the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump — rules that would open up the process and allow the president due process rights — while Democrat Rep. Ben McAdams supported the measure that passed the chamber mainly along partisan lines.

Reps. Rob Bishop, John Curtis and Chris Stewart aligned with all their GOP counterparts to vote against the resolution, meant to alleviate complaints by Republicans that the process so far has been held behind closed doors in a secure basement room and also codify the inquiry going forward.
