Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore foresees impeachment proceedings against Jeff Sessions

Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., argued Thursday that it would be “appropriate” to begin impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Jeff Sessions if the Trump administration refuses to remove him from a future investigation into Russia’s effort to influence the U.S. election.

“It is clear to me, and countless others, that the Trump administration has been compromised by their dealings with the Russian government,” Moore said Thursday. “I do not believe U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has the credibility nor the moral authority to serve as our country’s top law enforcement official, and I call on him to be removed from his post immediately.”
