Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declined to rule out the possibility of President Donald Trump being impeached if Democrats regain control of Congress after the midterm elections.
In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Schumer accused Trump of continually "violating [the] rule of law." However, he stopped short of explicitly saying Democrats would pursue impeachment when asked about Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff’s recent comments. During a town hall on Friday, Ossoff argued that Trump’s actions had exceeded “any prior standard for impeachment."
Bash pressed Schumer, asking, “Do you agree with [Ossoff], would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”
“Well look, right now, President Trump is violating the rule of the law in every way,” Schumer responded. “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.”
