Democrats seek impeachment of President Donald Trump

A Democratic lawmaker has called for impeachment of US President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in obstruction of justice, after news reports revealed that he had asked the FBI to stop investigations against former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

In fact, Congressman El Green from Texas on Wednesday became the first US lawmaker to demand impeachment of Trump from the House floor."I rise today (Wednesday) Speaker to call for the impeachment of the President of the USA for obstruction of justice. There is a belief in this country that no one is above the law. And that includes the President of the United States of America," Green said on the House floor. The Congressman said that his call for impeachment is a position of conscience for him and asked the American people to speak up. "Each member of Congress has to make his or her decision. Soon thereafter another Republican lawmaker was seen supporting the impeachment move. Trump had asked sacked FBI director James Comey to end the agency's investigation into ties between his former national security adviser Mike Flynn and Russia, according to a media report.

The latest crisis to beset Trump came just 24 hours after another report accused him of sharing classified intelligence with Russia during Oval Office talks with Russian officials.

The New York Times said on Tuesday that Trump asked Comey to end the investigation against Flynn. "He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go," Trump is quoted as telling Comey. "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," Trump told Comey, according to the former FBI chief's record of the meeting, as reported by the Times.
