GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The only Republican in Congress to accuse President Donald Trump of impeachable conduct faced voters in his Michigan district Tuesday, receiving standing ovations from many who saluted his “courage” while sparring with some former supporters who faulted him for embracing a Democratic “smear attack” against Trump.
Over two hours, fifth-term Rep. Justin Amash fielded more than two-dozen questions from an estimated crowd of 900 that packed a high school auditorium in Grand Rapids. He said those who read special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Trump’s conduct during and after the 2016 presidential election will be “appalled,” and said Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to hold the majority rather than uphold the law.
