GOP lawmaker: 'There is no quid in the quid pro quo if Ukraine ultimately got the aid'
|
[The Hill] Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said Thursday that President Trump could not have engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine if the European nation ultimately received the military aid that he withheld before asking for an investigation into a potential 2020 election rival.
Banks told Hill.TV that he would be more open to discussing the impeachment proceedings against Trump if that hadn't been the case.
"If this is about quid pro quo, there’s no quid in the quid pro quo if Ukraine ultimately received the aid, which they did," he said.
The Indiana Republican said because there is "no quid in the quid pro quo," he couldn’t identify "the high crime or misdemeanor or what the impeachable offense is at this point."
Banks added that the allegations outlined in former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation were "a lot more serious" than those against him for the dealings with Ukraine. He also advocated for letting the American people decide if they want their president removed from the White House next year in the election.
"I know I’m oversimplifying it, but what we have to get back to is where is the high crime and misdemeanor that justifies impeaching a president and undoing the will of the American people through the election process?" the lawmaker asked.
