Republican congressman says if 'murderers' and 'rapists' get due process, President Trump should too.
He added that what Trump is accused of doing doesn't sound much different than conduct he's engaged in throughout his presidency.
Speaking with CBS's"Face the Nation," Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said the debate over whether Trump engaged in a"quid pro quo" — which Trump insists he did not — is"a red herring." "The latter would be in the national interest, the former would be in the president's parochial interest and would be over the line," he said."I think this case is going to come down to the president's intent, his motive, did he have a culpable state of mind."
"It's important that the president has due process and evidence is not a conclusion," Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.,"Face the Nation.""We have enough evidence from the depositions that we've done to warrant bringing this forward, evidence of an extortion scheme using taxpayer dollars to ask a foreign government to investigate the president's opponent.
