Florida Republican Rep. Francis Rooney said Saturday he would not run for reelection, after suggesting he could be open to impeaching President Donald Trump
Washington .
"I've done what I came to do," Rooney told Fox News. He said he ran for Congress to"get the money for the Everglades projects that had been languishing for many years, and to try to get this offshore drilling ban passed to protect Florida."Rooney, who won his first election in 2016, said he initially thought his goals would take three terms,"but I think I've done it in less than two.
The congressman said 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. Rooney also said he was eager to learn from the witnesses coming in next week.
