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.
