Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, a freshman Democrat, says the evidence found in a transcript of President Donald Trump's call with the president of Ukraine released Wednesday left him no choice but to support an impeachment inquiry.

"To be forthright, it's damning. It confirms what we have suspected over the last couple days, in writing and in the President’s own words," Phillips told ABC News Political Director Rick Klein on "Powerhouse Politics" podcast. “He has betrayed the public trust, betrayed American interests, betrayed his oath of office and it requires action."
