Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she wants to see some distance between the White House and the Senate during the impeachment trial.
“Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi was very clear, very direct that her goal was to get this done before Christmas,” Murkowski said.
She also criticized the House for not turning to the courts to have some witnesses, such as White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton, testify after denying their subpoenas. Murkowski said that now the Senate is being asked to fix the deficiencies in evidence, according to KTUU.Murkowski, a moderate Republican, has questioned Trump's dealings with Ukraine but has not voiced support for impeachment. She told KTUU she is still undecided.
“For me to prejudge and say there’s nothing there or on the other hand, he should be impeached yesterday, that’s wrong, in my view, that’s wrong,” she said. “If it means that I am viewed as one who looks openly and critically at every issue in front of me rather than acting as a rubber stamp for my party or my president, I’m totally good with that.”
