Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday said a GOP congressman's call for impeaching President Donald Trump a “courageous statement” but not one that he yet supports.
Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., said Saturday in a series of tweets that Trump “engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment.” He is the first Republican to call for such an action against the GOP president.
Romney, a Utah Republican appearing on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper, said Amash has “reached a different conclusion than I have” and pointed out that even if the House were to impeach Trump, the GOP-controlled Senate wouldn’t convict.
