WASHINGTON (CNN) - Republican Rep. Mike Turner said Thursday that the controversial conversation between President Donald Trump and Ukraine's President is "not OK," a notable comment as most of his colleagues remain largely defensive toward Trump after the House launched an impeachment inquiry. "I've read the complaint, and I've read the transcript of conversation with the President and the president of the Ukraine," Turner said during a House Intelligence Committee hearing with the acting director of national intelligence. "Concerning that conversation, I want to say to the President: This is not OK. That conversation is not OK.""I think it's disappointing to the American public when they read the (conversation's) transcript," the Ohio Republican said. The conversation with Zelensky has led to a House impeachment inquiry into the President's actions, with Democrats claiming Trump abused his office by asking Ukraine to investigate his political opponent. A key standout is Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, who said Wednesday he saw "some very troubling things" in reading the White House transcript of the Trump-Zelensky conversation.
