From VOA:

Key U.S. Republican senators are saying that President Donald Trump’s request to Ukraine to launch an investigation to benefit himself politically was wrong, but did not amount to a significant enough offense to convict him on impeachment charges and remove him from office.

Trump has for months described as “perfect” his request last July to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate one of Trump’s top 2020 challengers, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son Hunter Biden’s work for a Ukrainian natural gas company.

But both Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said in interviews broadcast Sunday that Trump erred in asking Zelenskiy to “do us a favor” to launch the investigations at the same time he was withholding $391 million in military aid Kyiv wanted to help fight pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
