TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Talk of impeachment, Donald Trump said is a sign Democrats know they cannot beat him in 2020. In the interview, Trump said: The only way they can win, because they can’t win the election, is to bring out the artificial way of impeachment.
Impeachment would begin in the House, which Democrats control, but success would require a two-thirds majority in the Republican-held Senate, a vastly unlikely outcome.
Nonetheless, efforts to initiate proceedings have been pushed by elements of the House Democratic caucus. The billionaire Tom Steyer, who flirted with a presidential run, is funding a drive from outside Congress.
Most calls for Trumps impeachment and removal centre around the work of Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russian election interference, ties between Trump aides and Moscow and potential obstruction of justice by the US president.
Numerous
Trump aides have been indicted or convicted and some former close associates of
the US president are cooperating with the investigation.
