Kinzinger: My 'biggest regret' was voting against first Trump impeachment
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Friday expressed regret for failing to vote to impeach former President Trump the first time over his dealings with Ukraine in light of the recent Russian invasion.
Trump was impeached the first time in December of 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. However, he was later acquitted in the Senate.
"I want to be honest, in congress I have only a few votes that in [hindsight], I regret. My biggest regret was voting against the first impeachment of Donald Trump," the congressman wrote in a Twitter thread on Friday.

"The bottom line, Donald Trump withheld lethal aid to Ukraine so he could use it as leverage for his campaign," he said. He further stated that Trump's exchange with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019 had lasting impacts on the country.
