RACINE COUNTY, WI — One Congressman from Wisconsin says there's no way he is voting to impeach President Donald Trump.

"After reviewing the articles of impeachment against President Trump, my position remains unchanged," U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Janesville) said in a statement Friday. "I will be voting against the articles when they come to the House floor. This impeachment inquiry has divided the country and jeopardized Congress’ ability to focus on the real issues impacting Americans.”

According to a Patch Report from Washington D.C., the U.S. House Judiciary Committee passed two articles of impeachment Friday against the President along party lines.
