Murkowski Says She’ll Vote To Acquit Trump Despite ‘Shameful And Wrong’ Behavior

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said on Monday that she will vote to acquit President Trump on the two House-passed articles of impeachment.

Though Murkowski said she would vote to acquit Trump, she also publicly chastised him over his decision to ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “look into” former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

“The president’s behavior was shameful and wrong. His personal interests do not take precedence over those of this great nation,” she said.

“I cannot vote to convict. The Constitution provides for impeachment but does not demand it in all instances,” Murkowski said from the Senate floor, adding that removing Trump from office would be “the political death penalty.”
