Following weeks of witness testimony, leaks to the media, and unveiled transcripts regarding an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Senate Republicans appear unfazed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless there is something else that shows up somewhere, we dont see this as an impeachable offense,\u201d Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said Wednesday, reported the Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Democrats have claimed there was clear \u201cquid pro quo\u201d in a July call Trump made to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, alleging that Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine to force Kyiv to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, his son.<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly denied the claims, urging the public to read the publicly available transcripts of the phone call themselves. In the July call, Trump makes a request for Zelensky to \u201clook into\u201d the business activities of the former vice president and his son, who was on the board of Ukraine-based energy company Burisma at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if there were a quid pro quo that does not rise to the level of impeachment,\u201d Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) told the Examiner.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to understand, Joe Biden suggested they had six hours to respond to his demand they fire a prosecutor or there would be consequences,\u201d Rounds said. \u201cThis type of diplomacy is hard to watch but nonetheless has existed and hardly rises to an impeachable offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Republicans said that not many of their constituents are asking them to remove Trump from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dont imagine the country is as fixated with this as we are,\u201d said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), according to the report.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters<\/a> that nothing that the House transcripts have revealed so far would merit the Senate removing Trump from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it were today, I dont think there is any question it would not lead to a removal,\u201d McConnell said.<\/p>\n
