Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday slammed the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and accused them of chasing a “red herring” when attempting to figure out whether the president allegedly linked military aid to Ukraine to investigate his election rivals.

“Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi is acting in a manner that is insincere, even by the standards of Congress,” Kennedy told Fox News. “She is turning impeachment into a routine political weapon.”
