Chuck Schumer Does Not Rule Out Impeaching Trump If Dems Take Back Control

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if the Democrats regain control of the House and Senate, during a Sunday interview.

During the interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Schumer stated that Trump is “violating [the] rule of law” on a daily basis, though it is too soon to say whether the Democrats will file articles of impeachment against the president. Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff had said during a Friday town hall that Trump has committed several offenses that exceed “any prior standard for impeachment.”

“Do you agree with [Ossoff], would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?” Bash asked.

“Well look, right now, President Trump is violating the rule of the law in every way,” Schumer said. “And we’re fighting him every single day in every way. And our goal is to show the American people, over and over again, whether it’s the economy, whether it’s tariffs, whether it’s Russia and overseas and whether it’s rule of law, how bad he is. Two years is too far away to predict, our job is day to day to day, to show who Trump is, what he is doing and it’s having an effect … Look, it’s too far away to even judge.”

Democrats have accused Trump of violating the rule of law by defying federal court orders related to deporting illegal immigrant gang members. The administration has maintained that they did not defy a March 15 order put in place by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered that a plane transporting over 200 members of Tren de Agua be returned to the U.S. (Read more from “Chuck Schumer Does Not Rule Out Impeaching Trump If Dems Take Back Control” HERE)
