Elizabeth Warren: I Would 'Absolutely' Support Impeachment If Russia Allegations Are Proven
PoliticsMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would “absolutely” support impeaching President Donald Trump if allegations about his relationship with Russia are proven true, she said in an interview with Jezebel on Wednesday afternoon.
“I want to be sure that we are keeping this as nonpartisan as possible. And so the way I try to think about this and talk about it is to say let’s start with the facts,” Sen. Warren said. “We absolutely need to get a hold of Comey’s notes, any other written papers, any tapes that may have been made, and we need to get witnesses in here under oath. Let’s do our fact gathering so we’ve got all of the facts on the table in front of us and then evaluate whether or not those facts lead to a charge of impeachment.”
Sen. Warren was referring to a report from the Washington Post that found that Trump revealed highly classified information about ISIS to Russian officials, and one from the New York Times that found that in a memo, fired FBI Director James Comey wrote that Trump had asked him to end the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s ties to Russia, and, incidentally, also asked that journalists be imprisoned for publishing classified information.
