Congress should initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump (opinion)

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Jeffrey Sachs is a professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. CNN — Congress should launch impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump for welcoming Russian interference in the 2016 election and trying to obstruct the Mueller investigation. Jeffrey Sachs Courtesy Jeffrey Sachs Trump welcomed Russian interference in the 2016 election while signaling his readiness to shift US foreign policy in favor of Russia by ending sanctions.

Join us on Twitter and Facebook Trump recklessly welcomed Russian interference in the 2016 election for political gain while he was pursuing personal business interests in Russia, and those actions, together with his brazen attempts to obstruct Mueller’s investigation, surely constitute high crimes and misdemeanors justifying the launch of impeachment hearings.
