“We're finally learning the truth about this president,' said O'Rourke.
Presidential candidate and former Congressman Beto O'Rourke had a change of heart recently about whether or not Congress should impeach President Donald Trump. O'Rourke, who previously twice voted against impeachment during his time on Capitol Hill, said in an interview published Saturday that he now supports the idea.
Though Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and any Russians, the Dallas Morning News reported that one of the reasons O'Rourke now supports impeachment was that the president had “welcomed the participation of a foreign power into our election, that sought to sway that election in his favor.
"I don’t know that impeachment and those proceedings in the House and Senate is going to answer those questions for people," O'Rourke told reporters in New Hampshire in April. He expressed the sentiment that the best way to remove Trump from the White House was through the 2020 election process. "I think we have very good reason to believe that there is an investigation that has been conducted which has produced evidence that tells us that this President and his administration engaged in obstruction of justice," Harris told CNN on April 22."I believe Congress should take the steps towards impeachment."Impeachment is a formal accusation by the House followed by trial in the Senate, where conviction means removal from office.
“While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” Speaker of the House Pelosi wrote in a letter to her fellow House Democrats in April. “It is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the President accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings.
