There is a 20% chance Senate Republicans would be inclined to vote to impeach and remove President Donald Trump, a Republican source told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
Wallace told White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney during an interview Sunday that there seems to be some Republicans who, "if not breaking with the president – distancing themselves from the president."
"I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week," Wallace added.
"Somebody whose name you would know well, who says, that 'if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there is now a 20% chance,' he believes – obviously it's just an estimate – now a 20% chance enough Republicans will vote with the Democrats to remove the president."
Mulvaney called the speculation "absurd."
"This comment about a 20% chance this person clearly doesn't know what they're talking about," Mulvaney said.
Mulvaney pointed to President Trump's unpopular move with Republicans on a troop withdrawal in Syria, suggesting they might bend on support for the president but they will not break because "eventually they have to go back home" to their Trump-supporting districts.
Fox News' Wallace has been famously anti-Trump, slamming his colleagues for supporting the president of the United States and reportedly attacking and mocking the president in private.

Deaths always come in threes. Elijah Cummings was number one. Two more chances to say goodbye to Mitt Romney.
The silver lining in all this bs is watching how the left squirms. Liberal tears are sweet nectar.
Fox better not get to host a debate. Trump better play hard ball to get OANN to host debates
What slaughter? I was born in '85 if that means anything.
“The never Trumpers are defined as people without a party.”
You really think most of the GOP senators are pro-Trump? What evidence do you have for that? How many of them voted for Trump’s wall when the GOP controlled Congress and could actually have funded it?
Based on what evidence or crime?
Not being part of the elite political establishment?
Impeachment is fundamentally political. As long as Trump commands the unwavering loyalty of a super-majority in the GOP he is probably safe. I do expect a handful of senators from swing states may break ranks, but not enough to pose a serious threat of actual removal. To remove him you’d need at least twenty defections. At the moment I don’t see where they are going to get that many.
But... an impeachment trial is dangerous. If public opinion shifts drastically against Trump and especially if his hold on the GOP faithful in the more reliably Republican states weakens, then all bets are off.
“I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week,” Wallace added.

Yep, has to be Romney.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the noose must be tightening up around mitt & his former advisor cofer black who sits on the board of Burisma alongside humper biden.
100% chance this is bulls#it.
Any such speculation not even knowing the charges is grounds for removal from the Senate.
These bastards even have a fleeting thought to vote for impeachment I can guarantee you they WILL LOSE to the Dem contender, it won’t make a damn bit of difference to Trump’s base who the hell is in power and WE WILL stay home!!! Blow The whole damn party up and start over!!! If these ASSHATS think for one second that we have no where else to go and will show up to vote for them they are sadly mistaken!!!
Absolutely irrelevant to RINOs, those who are compromised and all the Uniparty traitors who want to go back to the way it was before Trump.
I want to see twenty or so senators, national politicians, cut their own political throats on live television.
Well connected Republican source is Kristol, who is a maggot without a political party or any fans with at least a 1% of decency in their political beliefs.
The ones that took money from Ukraine will vote to impeach
“...Wallace has had sex with a donkey.”
It was Wallace’s FATHER who had sex with a donkey, and you can see the result.
Wallace equals LAME.
Chris Wallace is now also telling LIES AND FAIRYTALES...
If you can’t name a name..then don’t repeat a ‘hear say’ comment...Chris you are dumb as a box of rocks...
FOX is going to the dogs..very quickly...
