WASHINGTON: Democrats vowed Friday to move quickly on the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, saying the evidence of abuse of power from his Ukraine phone call and attempts to cover up wrongdoing were already clear.
On Monday, Trump blithely swatted away a whistleblower report that alleged he sought to pressure Ukraine for information that could damage Biden, the leading democratic candidate to contest the presidency in 2020. Democrats now appear able to muster the majority they need to vote through an impeachment motion in the House - for only the third time in US history - setting the stage for a possible trial of the president by the Republican-controlled Senate."We should move quickly but not hurriedly, and we should focus on this Ukraine call," Eric Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said on CNN Friday.
"You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now," Trump told US diplomats in a meeting at the United Nations.
