Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.) said that he’s leaving the Republican party to become an independent weeks after claiming that President Donald Trump, a Republican, engaged in impeachable conduct.

Amash said in an op-ed published in the openly anti-Trump Washington Post that he grew up in a Republican household noting his father, a refugee from Palestine, and his mother, another immigrant, were both Republicans.
