Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if the Democrats regain control of the House and Senate, during a Sunday interview.
During the interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Schumer stated that Trump is “violating [the] rule of law” on a daily basis, though it is too soon to say whether the Democrats will file articles of impeachment against the president. Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff had said during a Friday town hall that Trump has committed several offenses that exceed “any prior standard for impeachment.”
“Do you agree with [Ossoff], would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?” Bash asked.
“Well, look, right now, President Trump is violating the rule of the law in every way,” Schumer said. “And we’re fighting him every single day in every way. And our goal is to show the American people, over and over again, whether it’s the economy, whether it’s tariffs, whether it’s Russia and overseas, and whether it’s the rule of law, how bad he is. Two years is too far away to predict, our job is day to day to day, to show who Trump is, what he is doing, and it’s having an effect … Look, it’s too far away to even judge.”
WATCH:
Democrats have accused Trump of violating the rule of law by defying federal court orders related to deporting illegal immigrant gang members. The administration has maintained that they did not defy a March 15 order put in place by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered that a plane transporting over 200 members of Tren de Agua be returned to the U.S.
The party has also accused Trump of defying a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that directed the administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member deported to El Salvador.
Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green announced in February that he would move to impeach Trump just three weeks after he began his second term. He recently told protesters in early April that he will bring articles of impeachment against the president in the next 30 days, stating that he does not deserve to hold public office.
House Democrats, at the direction of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, filed the first articles of impeachment against Trump on Dec. 18, 2019, in connection with a phone call where Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to announce two investigations into then-former Vice President Joe Biden’s family ahead of the 2020 election. The lower chamber, then led by Democrats, impeached the president a second time in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
