GOP senator says he will vote to impeach Trump
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) has signaled he will be voting to impeacute President Donald Trump, as the House considers a bipartisan resolution.
The resolution calls for an investigation into the Trump administration’s role in obstructing congressional investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump obstructed justice.
The Senate’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), has not made clear how she would vote.
If she does not vote, Rubio would likely move the resolution to the Senate floor, where he would need the support of two-thirds of the chamber to override the presidential veto.
Rubio, who has repeatedly suggested he would not vote to convict Trump, had called the Russia investigation a distraction and said in the wake of the Trump Tower meeting with Russians that “it’s all a big mess.”
