McAuliffe: 'We ought to look at' impeachment of Trump


By VICTORIA GUIDA 08/12/2018 12:18 PM EDT Updated 08/12/2018 07:20 PM EDT

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Sunday that lawmakers should consider whether to impeach President Donald Trump, who he said has been “bear-hugging” Russian President Vladimir Putin while the foreign leader attempts to undermine U.S. democracy.

“I think that's something we ought to look at,” the Democrat said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” when asked by host Jake Tapper whether Trump should be impeached.

“If President Clinton or President Obama had gone to Helsinki and done what President Trump had done, you would already have impeachment hearings going on,” he said, in reference to a news conference alongside Putin where Trump appeared to give equal weight to the findings of the American intelligence community that Russia meddled in the 2016 election and to Putin’s denial of that fact.

The U.S. is battling Russia on multiple fronts, McAuliffe said, citing Ukraine and Syria.

“There has to be a reason, Jake, why he is over there acting the way he acts about Putin, then inviting them here, and then saying he may go over there,” he said. “Do not forget that they came into the 2016 election, they came in and tried to destroy the greatest democracy in the world.”
