Former Utah governor and U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman said Thursday that he is proud of the nation’s diplomats, including those who participated in congressional hearings as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
“They’re my friends and colleagues, including those on the National Security Council staff, and I have high regard for what they do,” Huntsman said, "and what they do is tell the truth and that’s why we rely on them.”
Huntsman, who recently declared his candidacy for Utah governor in next year’s election, was speaking at a lunchtime event at the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics.
