EXTORTION is impeachable
Trump impeachment committee ‘has evidence of extortion scheme involving president’ and Ukraine
Leading Republican supporter suggests president should drop his ‘no quid pro quo’ defence
Politicians have evidence of an “extortion scheme” by
Donald Trump to try to pressure a foreign government to investigate his opponents, a member of the House intelligence committee has said ahead of public
impeachment hearings beginning this week.
Democratic congressman
Eric Swalwell told CBS’s
Margaret Brennan on Sunday that there was already ample evidence that the president had abused his office.
He said: “We have enough evidence from the depositions that we’ve done to warrant bringing this forward. Evidence of an extortion scheme, using taxpayer dollars to ask a foreign government to investigate the president’s opponent.
