Mitt Makes his Move

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/politics/impeachment-vote.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage


Senator Mitt Romney of Utah said Wednesday that he would vote to convict President Trump of abuse of power, making him the first Republican to support removing Mr. Trump for his bid to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals.

Speaking slowly and deliberately from the Senate floor, Mr. Romney, who appeared to choke up at the beginning of his statement, said that his decision was made out of an “inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it.” He said Mr. Trump was “guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust.”
