(CNN) Michigan Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence said Tuesday she remains supportive of the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry following comments over the weekend in which she said she preferred censuring Trump to impeaching and removing him from office.

"We're so close to an election. I will tell you, sitting here knowing how divided this country is, I don't see the value of taking him out of office, but I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable," Lawrence said Sunday on "No BS News Hour" with Charlie LeDuff . "It's in violation of the office and the oath of office of President of the United States, and we have to be clear that you cannot use your power of the presidency to withhold funds to get a foreign country to investigate an American citizen for your own personal gain. There's no way around that."

"I want him censured," she added. "I want it on the record that the House of Representatives did their job and they told this President and any president coming behind him that this is unacceptable behavior and under our Constitution, we will not allow it."

During the same interview, the congresswoman said that based on the interviews and documents she has seen, there is "significant evidence" to impeach.

On Tuesday, Lawrence's office put out a statement affirming her support for impeachment.
