Trump lashes out as Rep. Justin Amash says he is leaving the GOP
Justin Amash , the only congressional Republican who has publicly called to impeach President Donald Trump, says he is leaving the GOP, a move that drew a swift rebuke from the president Thursday.
Amash, a 39-year-old libertarian elected in 2010, faced two primary challenges and Trump's lash on Twitter after saying the president committed impeachable offenses May 18. He also said Attorney General William Barr had “deliberately misrepresented” special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and allegations the president sought to obstruct the investigation.
Donald Trump Jr. and Amash feuded on Twitter on June 13 after the president's son teased a campaign appearance for an Amash primary challenger, state legislator Jim Lower, in Michigan's 3rd District.
