A Republican congressman known for his opposition to Republican President Donald Trump said the president’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “misguided” but didn’t include anything that could be used to impeach Trump.
Hurd said Trump telling Zelensky to “do us a favor” and probe Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and the president’s use of the word “Biden,” referring to Trump’s request for Zelensky to “look into” corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden and Biden’s son Hunter Biden, were not appropriate.
