Metro – It’s become increasingly likely that Donald Trump will be impeached, according to senior Washington officials.
Senator Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly told his friends in private that he put the odds at two to one against the President completing his full term.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is currently in charge of investigating alleged Russian interference in the US election.
Warner’s spokesperson did not deny that he’d made the remarks, which were published in the New Yorker, but said the Senator was ‘not referring specifically to the Russia investigation, but rather the totality of challenges the President is currently facing’.
Since his election Trump has had the lowest approval rating of any new-elected president.
‘You can’t govern this country with a 40% approval rate. You just can’t,’ Stephen Moore, a senior economist at the Heritage Foundation who advised Trump during the campaign, told The New Yorker.
‘Nobody in either party (Republicans or Democrats) is going to bend over backwards for Trump if over half the country doesn’t approve of him.’
