Letter: Congress, have the courage to stand up to Trump

(Pablo Martinez Monsivais | Associated Press file photo) President Donald Trump reaches out to greet supporters on the tarmac upon his arrival at Palm Beach International Airport, Thursday, April 18, 2019, in West Palm Beach, Fla.

The Mueller report says, “The President’s efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests.”

Perhaps Utah’s congressional delegation, like those who disobeyed Trump, will find some courage.

They can call out Trump’s daily lies, his incoherent tweets, his misplaced admiration of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, his relentless insults and his conduct unbecoming of the office of the U.S. presidency.
