Elizabeth Warren: Begin Trump impeachment Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday became the first major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to urge her party to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump in the wake of the special counsel’s newly released report. Ms. Warren took to Twitter to announce her support for impeachment, saying the special counsel’s findings show a president unfit for office. “The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States,” she said. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, released in slightly redacted form Thursday morning, says there’s no evidence the president and his team conspired with Russia to subvert the 2016 election. That undercuts a major narrative Democrats have used to question Mr. Trump’s legitimacy. But Mr. Mueller said the president did take actions to try to hinder the probe into Russian election meddling. The special counsel did not recommend charges, but said he could not exonerate the president. One reason he didn’t recommend charges was to leave Congress the option of impeachment.
