Elizabeth Warren calls for Trump's impeachment
Elizabeth Warren calls for Trump's impeachment, Romney 'sickened'
Washington:
US Senator Elizabeth Warren has became the first 2020 Democratic
presidential candidate to make a full-throated call for President Donald
Trump to be impeached following the release of special counsel Robert
Mueller's redacted report.

Democrats demanded more detail on the conclusions of the probe while
former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney expressed revulsion
for the Trump White House's behaviour during the election.
In
a series of tweets on Friday, Warren said it would be damaging to
"ignore a President's repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into
his own disloyal behaviour" and would give license to future presidents
to act in the same way.
"The severity of this misconduct demands
that elected officials in both parties set aside political
considerations and do their constitutional duty.
"That
means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the
President of the United States," Warren, a senator from Massachusetts,
tweeted.

who investigated whether Trump's campaign coordinated with Russia
during the 2016 election, found that Trump made numerous attempts to
interfere with the investigation but was largely foiled by those around
him.
He found no evidence of a direct conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign and made no verdict on obstruction of justice.
Republican
Senator Romney said the conduct by Trump and his campaign outlined in
the report left him "sickened" and "appalled" -- marking one of the
first prominent Republicans to make such critical comments of the
president in the aftermath of the blockbuster investigation.
Romney
offered his reaction on Twitter after reading the full 448-page report,
writing that the level of lies and dishonesty outlined in the report
left him with the realisation of "how far we have strayed from the
aspirations and principles out the founders."
"I
am sickened and the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and
misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including
the President," wrote Romney, a one-time presidential nominee who has
repeatedly clashed with Trump over the years.
"I
am also appalled that, among other things," fellow citizens working in a
campaign for the president welcomed help from Russia -- including
information that had been illegally obtained."
Congressional
Democrats took legal action on Friday to gain access to all of Mueller's
evidence from his inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 election,
as the probe's findings dented President Donald Trump's poll ratings.
The
number of Americans who approve of Trump dropped by 3 percentage points
to the lowest level of the year following the release of a redacted
version of Mueller's report on Thursday, according to a Reuters/Ipsos
online opinion poll. Mueller did not establish the Trump campaign
coordinated with Russians but did find "multiple acts by the President
that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement
investigations."
While
Mueller ultimately decided not to charge Trump with a crime such as
obstruction of justice, he also said the investigation did not exonerate
the president, either.
U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, issued a subpoena to the
Justice Department to hand over the full Mueller report and other
relevant evidence by May 1. "My committee needs and is entitled to
the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent
with past practice. The redactions appear to be significant," Nadler
said in a statement.
Other
2020 Democratic presidential candidates, while supportive of the idea
of impeachment, were more circumspect in their responses. Former
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said on CNN that
it would be "perfectly reasonable for Congress to open up those
proceedings".
Both
Washington Governor Jay Inslee and congressman Eric Swalwell said the
question of impeachment should not be taken off the table.
