Rep. Mac Thornberry (Texas), the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, said Sunday that President Trump’s call with Ukraine's president, which is at the center of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, was “inappropriate†but not “impeachable.â€
ABC “This Week†host Martha Raddatz pressed Thornberry on the Republican strategy to combat the substance of the allegations against Trump as the impeachment inquiry enters the public phase this week with key witness testimony.
“I believe it's inappropriate for a president to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival. Now that leads to a question if there's a political rival with a family member who is involved in questionable activity, what do you do?†Thornberry said.
