Warren: I would 'absolutely' support impeachment if Comey memo is true

Source: The Hill

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said that she would "absolutely" support impeaching President Trump if reports of Trump attempting to stymie FBI investigations are true.

Warren told Jezebel Wednesday that lawmakers would first have to investigate allegations that Trump asked Comey to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and that Trump shared classified information with Russian officials before deciding to pursue impeachment.

“We absolutely need to get a hold of Comey’s notes, any other written papers, any tapes that may have been made, and we need to get witnesses in here under oath," she said. "Let’s do our fact gathering so we’ve got all of the facts on the table in front of us and then evaluate whether or not those facts lead to a charge of impeachment.”

The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian diplomats during a meeting last week. And The New York Times reported Monday that Comey had written in a memo that Trump asked him to dismiss the investigation into Flynn after Flynn was fired.
