House manager Sylvia Garcia drills down on how Trump engaged in the 'ABCs of impeachable behavior'

February 3, 2020

Garcia highlighted the three ABCs that Trump has been accused of:

  • Abusing his power
  • Betraying the country
  • Corrupting elections

Garcia also noted that senators from both sides of the aisle agree the president acted inappropriately, and that the question now is whether his behavior warrants removal from office.

In addition to the vast majority of the Democratic caucus, two Republican senators — Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — acknowledge that Trump did something wrong. Alexander has indicated he will vote to acquit Trump because he doesn't think Trump's actions rose to the level of impeachable offenses.

Murkowski has also made up her mind on how she will vote but she's declined to publicly discuss it.
