"Hatch, who is now President pro tempore of the Senate, said in 1999 that Clinton's crimes "go to the heart of qualification for public office."

"This great nation can tolerate a President who makes mistakes. But it cannot tolerate one who makes a mistake and then breaks the law to cover it up," Hatch, who was then a Utah senator, said at the time.

"Upholding our Constitution — a sacred document that Americans have fought and died for — is more important than any one person, including the President of the United States."

Hatch last year endorsed Trump for President, calling him "a very bright guy." "
