"I just I don't think that's the question at hand," Senate Majority Whip John Thune said Monday when asked if Trump's conduct was appropriate. "The question is whether or not what he did is impeachable or whether it warrants removal from office in a Senate conviction." Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner, one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection, would not comment about Trump's conduct after the closing arguments were delivered on Monday. Gardner last week joined 50 of his GOP colleagues in voting to block any witnesses or subpoenas for documents in the Senate trial. "We're still in the middle of this trial," Gardner said when asked if Trump's conduct was appropriate.
