Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) says Trump’s conduct meets 'threshold for impeachment'
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow May 18 at 11:23 PM Rep. Justin Amash , a critic of President Trump who has entertained a run against him in 2020, became the first Republican congressman to say the president “engaged in impeachable conduct” based on the Mueller report.
“Contrary to Barr’s portrayal, Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment,” Amash wrote. Amash wrote that it was partisanship keeping Republicans from exercising their obligation to provide checks and balances.
“From the time the president was elected, I was urging them to remain independent and to be willing to push back against the president where they thought he was wrong,” Amash told CNN in March. “They’ve decided to stick with the president time and again, even where they disagree with him privately.” Despite his frequent critiques of the president — when Trump mocked former congressman Mark Sanford last year after he lost his House race in South Carolina’s Republican primary, Amash called it a “dazzling display of pettiness and insecurity” — Trump has not hit back.
