Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), considered a possible swing vote in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, said Feb. 3 that she “cannot vote to convict” the president, while calling the foundation of the inquiry process “rotten.”
Ahead of a vote on whether to convict or acquit Trump on Feb. 5, Murkowski told the Senate floor on Feb. 3 that while she believed the president’s actions were “shameful and wrong,” removing Trump from office would be “the political death penalty.”
