Rep Matt Gaetz, a Republican on the House Judiciary committee, told reporters “we may not win the vote as the Republicans, but we're sure winning the argument."
“As we said on CNN this morning the polling is turning against Democrats, even some of their own members. I continue to hear more and more Democrats seeking some alternative to impeachment because they see that this is not a political winner for them,” the Florida lawmaker said.
Rep Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told reporters on his way to votes that “the Republicans have articulated a singular argument in defense of the President's clear abuse of power: that Donald Trump is an anti-corruption crusader."
"Does anyone reasonably believe that?" Jeffries said. "Perhaps the most corrupt President in modern American history.”
Asked if he would be satisfied with the Democrats' case after today, Jeffries replied, “Witness after witness after witness have testified that Donald Trump pressured the foreign government to target an American citizen for political gain.”
“It was done for political reasons. That's an abuse of power," he said.
