Hillary Clinton: “I’m in favor of moving toward impeachment. I did not come to that decision easily or quickly, but this is an emergency as I see it'
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday joined the rising chorus of Democrats calling for an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump following reports that he pressured Ukraine’s government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, who is running against him.
Clinton was referring to additional reports that Trump had frozen congressionally approved financial aid to Ukraine, which is in a conflict with Russia, before speaking with Ukraine’s president about Biden. He has said the two were not related.Calling Trump a “corrupt human tornado,” Clinton told PEOPLE it is the constitutional duty of the House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings “not happily or with glee,” but in the interests of national security.
Sitting beside her daughter, Chelsea, and discussing their upcoming book, The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience, the former secretary of state sat stiffly upright when the subject turned to Trump and the latest reporting about his communications with the Ukrainian president and Biden.
