A prosecutor who helped investigate President Bill Clinton said Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, arguing that the Constitution empowers Congress to address the type of evidence found in the Mueller report
Former Whitewater prosecutor Stephen Binhak said that special counsel Robert Mueller's report unearthed the same type of evidence against Trump as the Saturday Night Massacre -- when President Richard Nixon asked Justice Department leadership to fire Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor investigating him, and then fired them when they refused -- revealed about Nixon. Binhak's comments came Friday in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett.
""When the President acts in that way, there's a political solution," Binhak said, adding that the Constitution considers how"Congress should have vigorous oversight of the executive branch -- in this case, that's opening up hearings and seeing what happened, and seeing if impeachment, articles of impeachment should be returned.
