On hearing of the Maine Republican's remarks, the president indicated he does not intend to do so.
Sen. Susan Collins said she thinks it “would be helpful” if President Donald Trump apologized for the actions that led to his impeachment trial, shortly after announcing she would vote to acquit him on both articles of impeachment against him.
O’Donnell noted that Collins had previously said Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine was “wrong” and that his decision to ask a foreign country for assistance to investigate a political rival was “improper.” She asked Collins if she believed the president — who was impeached in the House for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — should apologize for his actions, or at least acknowledge they were wrong.
