White House lawyers have started consulting experts on impeachment as murmurs of Donald Trump’s removal from office have grown louder in recent weeks, it has been reported.
Lawyers in the White House counsel’s office appear to be taking the distant possibility of impeachment seriously, having reached out to experts in the past week to gather more information, CNN reported.
While the gravity of the investigations into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia has escalated with the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, impeachment remains a long shot, especially given the GOP control of both the House and Senate.
The White House issued a brief statement saying the reports were ‘not true’.
An attorney close to White House counsel Don McGahn also questioned the reports, saying it wasn’t something he would authorize.
Rep. Al Green, (D-TX), said on the House floor on Wednesday: ‘The President must be impeached.
But Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), urged Democrats to take a more restrained approach, saying: ‘No one ought to, in my view, rush to embrace the most extraordinary remedy that involves the removal of the president from office.
He also warned that calls for impeachment could ‘be perceived as an effort to nullify the election by other means.’
