Rep. Ben McAdams calls President Trump’s behavior ‘dishonest and corrupt,’ but says it does not yet merit impeachment

Rep. Ben McAdams, Utah’s lone Democrat in Congress, says special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe clearly shows that President Donald Trump has engaged in “dishonest and corrupt behavior.”

“I’m going to call it what it is: It is dishonest and it is corrupt behavior that we are seeing in this White House,” McAdams told the editorial board of The Salt Lake Tribune on Wednesday.

But he said only the most serious crimes and misbehavior should result in impeachment to remove a president and essentially overturn a U.S. election.

“I am not ready to conclude that we've reached that high bar,” he said.
