Trump Impeachment Calls Grow Louder

Wed, 22 May 2019 21:00:00 -0000

Impeachment is having yet another moment on Capitol Hill, as Democrats look for a way to enforce what they consider their constitutional duty to investigate the Trump White House. In a surprise Rose Garden speech Wednesday, President Trump said he could no longer work with Democrats until they stop their investigations into his administration and finances. Meanwhile, Democrats argue impeachment is the answer because he's holding up those investigations.
