Sen. Mitt Romney announced Wednesday he would vote to convict President Donald Trump on abuse of power.
Romney sat down with Fox New’s Chris Wallace to explain how he came to that decision.
"I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine," Romney said. "It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take."
Wallace said, “You realize this is war. Donald Trump will never forgive you for this.”
“I know in my heart that I’m doing what is right,” Romney answered. “I understand there’s going to be an enormous consequence. And I don’t have a choice in that regard.”
However, Romney did not vote to convict Trump on obstruction of Congress.
