A House Republican open to the idea of impeaching President Donald Trump said he fears for his party’s future, calling the administration’s effort to taint Democrats with Ukrainian help “egregious” and its Syria policy even worse.
After announcing Saturday he won’t seek a third term in 2020, Representative Francis Rooney of Florida doubled down by questioning the integrity of Rudy Giuliani, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, and the president’s quickly revoked decision to host a Group of Seven summit at one of his resorts.
