Rep. Justin Amash, the sole congressional Republican to call for President Trump’s impeachment, said Tuesday that the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III left him with no other option. “Mueller’s report describes concerning contacts between members of Trump’s campaign and people in or connected to the Russian government,” he wrote. Two Republicans have filed to run against him in the primary; one of them, state Rep. Jim Lower, told The Washington Post that he raised $60,000 since Amash’s impeachment tweets. “In truth, Mueller’s report describes concerning contacts between members of Trump’s campaign and people in or connected to the Russian government,” Amash wrote. That’s just an excuse.”Over the evening, as it became clear that most of the audience supported his impeachment stance, Amash sought out critical questions.
