Sen. Elizabeth Warren became the first major Democratic 2020 presidential candidate to call for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump
April 20 (UPI) — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., became the first major Democratic 2020 presidential candidate to call for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report this week.
In a series of posts Friday on Twitter, Warren attempted to lay out her case for the House of Representatives to begin its effort to impeach Trump.
“I read the Mueller report. When I got to the end, I realized this is a point of principle,” Warren wrote. “Because it matters not just for this president, but for all future presidents. No one is above the law.”
Warren, who was taunted by Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign after the senator claimed Native American heritage, called on Democrats and Republicans to “set aside political considerations,” suggesting that impeachment proceedings should be bipartisan.
