Nick Reisman reports at New York State of Politics that Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik said Oct. 10 that she is not in favor of impeachment. “It is illegal to ask any foreign nation for help electorally,” she said. “I don’t think that’s what the president did in this case.” On a telephone call in July, President Donald Trump released a summary of the discussion where, after the Ukraine president asks to buy weapons to fight the Russians, he says, “I would like you to do us a favor, though" and then asks for an investigation of a political rival. Then a few days after Trump revealed that conversation, he then publicly asked China to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden. "I think when it comes to the China statement, that was certainly not an appropriate statement to make, but I don’t think that was actually asking a foreign nation to support his campaign. It was not that,” Stefanik said. But a Trump advisor, Michael Pillsbury, told The Financial Times that he got, "quite a bit of background on Hunter Biden from the Chinese" after Trump made that public statement. Pillsbury changed his story after the first report was published. The three other Hudson Valley Representatives, Democrats Paul Tonko, Antonio Delgado, and Sean Maloney, all have backed the impeachment inquiry.
