When the conversation turned to impeachment, the Minnesota senator was also asked if she believed the president committed a crime.

“I want to look at all the evidence,” Klobuchar replied. “I am the one that said this is impeachable conduct. You have to look at each count, but I think this is very serious what happened here, and it will come over to the Senate, and remember, this isn't a criminal proceeding. It is actually a decision under the constitution about whether or not he should be removed from office.”
