Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on said Friday he’d consider articles of impeachment from the House, saying he believes President Trump disregarded his oath of office.
“If they come together and have a process, I will definitely consider whatever articles they might move, because as I told you I believe the president has disregarded his oath of office,” Sasse said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.”
“He swore an oath to the American people to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. He acted against that,” Sasse said. “What he did was wicked.”

Sasse in the interview hedged a bit, suggesting it might not be in the best interests of America to impeach Trump even if there had been impeachable conduct given he is only in office for another 12 days.
“The question is more of a prudential question. What is the best thing for America in 2022 or 2032. The question isn’t what’s best for Donald Trump,” Sasse said.
