The US cannot ‘continue having a pathological liar in the White House,’ says Bernie Sanders
Donald Trump is now the third US president to be impeached after Bill Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868

THE US cannot “continue having a pathological liar in the White House,” socialist US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has said, after the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted yesterday to impeach President Donald Trump.

Mr Trump — who follows Bill Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868 as the third president to be impeached — was charged with abusing the powers of his office by enlisting a foreign government to investigate a political rival and for obstructing Congress’s investigation.

“Today is a sad but necessary day for [US] democracy,” Mr Sanders said in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
