CONGRESS/DEMS/ELIZABETH WARREN/IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, on Friday [4-19-19] said Congress should begin the process of removing President Donald Trump from office over findings in U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. ‘The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty,’ Warren said on Twitter. ‘That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.’ Warren is the first of the major contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination to call for impeachment, a day after the release of Mueller’s report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Mueller did not establish that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russians but did find ‘multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations.’”
