Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) “is not one to make waves on Capitol Hill. But during Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, she almost created a tsunami,” Politico reports.
“After she publicly revealed damaging details about Trump’s phone call with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Herrera Beutler was nearly ensnared in the Senate trial herself — an episode that later landed her in the GOP leader’s office.”
“There, during a previously unreported interaction, she got a chance to explain her thinking behind divulging the Trump-McCarthy exchange to reporters, constituents and local officials.”
