Utah Democratic Rep. Ben McAdams isn’t on board with impeaching Trump — at least not yet

Washington • More than half of House Democrats say President Donald Trump should be impeached or they support impeachment inquiries into his actions with foreign powers.

McAdams said Tuesday that he’s concerned about Trump’s suggestions to Ukraine’s president to investigate the son of political rival Joe Biden but he’s not joining his 161 fellow Democrats in backing impeachment proceedings just yet.

Scores of Democrats had called for Trump's impeachment before and after special counsel Robert Mueller's report found several instances where the president attempted to hinder the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected.
