Washington • Buoyed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s statement Wednesday, more Democrats called for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, though Utah’s only Democrat in Congress said such action requires a “high bar” and would need to be bipartisan.
Rep. Ben McAdams said that he’s more focused on fixing crumbling bridges and roads, combating rising health care costs and protecting Social Security and Medicare than he is on the question of whether Trump tried to obstruct Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“Congress will continue its oversight role,” McAdams said. “Any impeachment proceedings would be initiated by a committee that I’m not a member of, and for me, would require meeting a high bar and would have to be sufficiently bipartisan.
