Warren Introduces Bill to Criminalize Trump’s Business Ties, Make Him Impeachable


If a report published on The Hill this week is to be believed, far-left Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is gearing up to introduce legislation that makes many of Trump’s business ties illegal by forcing him and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to turn their financial interests over to a blind trust. Of course, this has the side effect of making Trump eligible for impeachment, and although it’s unlikely the measure will get the support it needs to pass, it still shows how determined liberals are to stymy Trump:

“The American people deserve to know that the President of the United States is working to do what’s best for the country – not using his office to do what’s best for himself and his businesses,” Warren said in a prepared statement.

The proposed measure would give Congress the authority to formally punish the president with impeachment. Warren’s bill specifically labels any fiscal conflicts of interest as a “high crime or misdemeanor,” a key legal definition that allows Congress to pursue impeachment.

“With Inauguration Day fast approaching, the American people are still waiting to hear what steps President-elect Trump will take to guard against conflicts of interest and corruption in his Administration,” Sen. Dick Durbin told The Hill about Warren’s bill.”
