Schiff: Trump 'truly feels that he can do whatever he wants'

'This is a president who truly feels that under Article II, he can do whatever he wants. And that includes coercing an ally to help him cheat in an election,' House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff says of President Trump

From CNN's Tara SubramaniamRep. Sylvia Garcia, one of the House impeachment managers, raised and then debunked the theory that President Trump says is at the heart of his efforts in Ukraine.

“As the theory goes,” said Garcia, “Vice President Biden tried to remove Ukraine's prosecutor all to make sure the prosecutor wouldn't investigate that specific company Burisma because, again, his son was on the board. Then senators, if that doesn't sound far-fetched and complicated to you, it should.”

Later in 2015, Biden publicly called for Shokin’s removal. But as Garcia noted on Thursday, Biden was not alone in trying to get Shokin fired at the time. Furthermore, when Biden called for Shokin’s removal, the case against Burisma was no longer active, Garcia noted.
