Elizabeth Warren calls for impeachment on Senate floor

The Independent, May 7, 2019
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-news-live-tax-returns-biden-2020-poll-election-treasury-tweets-today-a8902501.html

Elizabeth Warren says the US Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.

The Democratic presidential candidate went to the Senate floor on Tuesday to reiterate her call for impeachment hours after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared "case closed" on the Russia probe and potential obstruction by the president.

Holding a copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, Ms Warren responded to Mr McConnell that "wishing won't make it so”.

She said that because of a Justice Department opinion that a sitting president can't be indicted, the only way to the hold the president accountable is to initiate impeachment.
