House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday told colleagues he remains opposed to impeaching President Donald Trump in connection with last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, but is floating other responses, including censure of the president.
“Personally, I continue to believe that an impeachment at this time would have the opposite effect of bringing our country together when we need to get America back on a path towards unity and civility,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to rank and file House Republicans.
