Former FBI Director James Comey says the House 'has no choice' but to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Pres. Trump after the president's overtures to his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
Amid brewing tensions in Washington among congressional Democrats and the White House, former FBI Director James Comey said that the House of Representatives"has no choice" but to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump after the president's overtures to his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
As he unleashed a blistering rebuke of Trump's alleged conduct, Comey added,"If the news accounts are accurate, the president engaged in a shocking abuse of power." "Show us -- this what happened in the summer of 1974. Show the American people what the evidence is. It rocked the American people's world in the summer of 1974," he said."And history doesn't repeat itself, but they say it rhymes. I think we may see something similar with public hearings here."
At the crux of the Democrats' impeachment inquiry is whether the president withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure the country to investigate his political rival's family and a conspiracy theory related to the 2016 presidential election. "My view now is I don't know how, as a member of Congress, you can look yourself in the mirror and say, 'I'm abiding the oath I swore to this Constitution of the United States,'" he added.
"I would hope that Mr. Durham will do everything possible to protect his reputation from being damaged by those in leadership, and the most important way you can do that is give us transparency," Comey added."Gather the facts, write a report and share it with the American people."
