Republican congressman does not rule out impeachment
From CNN's Haley Draznin
Rep. Francis Rooney, a Republican from Florida, responded to Mick Mulvaney's confirmation of a quid pro quo deal with Ukraine this morning, saying, “Whatever might have been gray and unclear before is certainly clear right now."
He also did not rule out the possibility of President Trump being impeached: “I don’t think you can rule anything out until you know the facts.”
He acknowledged that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a point when she says the President’s foreign policy is benefitting Russia and Putin:
“I have to say this business about the Ukraine server which no one heard about until mentioned recently, tells me what are we trying to exculpate Russia who all our trained intelligence officials have consistently corroborated that Russia was behind the election meddling, not the Ukraine.”
While almost every House Democrat has announced support for the impeachment inquiry, only a few Republicans have done the same.
