Read full article: GOP congressman open to impeaching Trump

CNN(CNN) - Rep. Francis Rooney, a Florida Republican who appears open to impeaching President Donald Trump, said Sunday that what he's seen so far in the ongoing Trump-Ukraine scandal is "quite troubling." CNN's Jake Tapper asked Rooney on "State of the Union" if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hypothetically called a vote tomorrow to launch an impeachment inquiry, "How do you think you'd go?" Rooney said he wasn't "100% sure right this second." The congressman said last week that Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, confirmed Thursday what Trump had denied -- that the President engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Mulvaney later sought to walk back his remarks, but Rooney said Sunday that "I don't see how you walk back something that is clear."
