A number of Republican senators dodged questions about whether President Trump acted appropriately with Ukraine, underscoring the internal GOP divide about his conduct
Many Republicans instead are eager to shift the attention away from the President's conduct and onto House Democrats, whom they argue failed to prove that Trump's actions warrant his removal from office. Yet they won't say if Trump acted appropriately in urging Ukraine to announce investigations that would help him politically, highlighting the fine line many are walking as they seek to avoid angering the President while not endorsing his actions.
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who said Trump's ask for Ukraine to investigate his political rivals was"inappropriate." While Alexander said that Trump's conduct did not rise to the level of impeachable conduct, he conceded that Democrats had proven their case that the President used his office to press a foreign country to announce investigations that could help Trump politically."Let me be clear," GOP Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska said Friday.
