During a Facebook Live tele-town hall Wednesday, Sen. Mike Lee said he doesn’t think a newly released, rough transcript of a phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s leader is “a problem” and argued it “certainly doesn’t serve as the basis for impeaching and removing” him.
In his comments, Lee struck a different tone from other members of Utah’s federal congressional delegation and sought to dismiss as partisan concerns over the call that have bubbled into the launch of an impeachment inquiry.
“There are those who don’t like this president who have been trying to have him impeached and removed since the day he took office,” Lee said.
