Rep. Chris Stewart predicts impeachment hearings will turn Americans to support Trump

Washington • Rep. Chris Stewart predicted Friday that the American people would be less supportive of impeaching President Donald Trump after hearing from witnesses – despite continued revelations from career diplomats.

Stewart, a Utah Republican who has played the role of a staunch defender of Trump, reiterated his belief that Democrats have been trying to undermine the president since before he was elected and that in the end, it wouldn't work.

“I think that public support for impeachment is actually going to be less when these hearings are over than it is when the hearings began, because finally the American people are going to be able to see the evidence and they're going to be able to make their own determination regarding that,” Stewart said.
