Elizabeth Warren called on Congress to impeach trump

Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren called on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings of U.S. President Donald trump. She believes that insights from the investigation of special counsel Robert Muller is sufficient for the decision of the legislators:

«The seriousness of this misconduct requires that elected officials of both parties set aside political considerations and fulfill its constitutional responsibilities. This means that the house needs to begin impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.»

Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.
