Hillary Clinton said that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had a duty to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Trump because of his phone call with the Ukrainian president.
“I think that pierced through the American consciousness about everything that’s been going on for the last, you know, two plus years,” Clinton said Wednesday on ABC’s The View. “It would have been a dereliction of duty at that point for the Congress led by Speaker Pelosi to say, ‘Okay, another really bad thing, we’re just going to have to keep moving.’ They had to look at this and there’s enough concern by former security officials, others who have weighed in on this, that it deserves an impeachment inquiry.”
The former secretary of state has been making a media tour with her daughter, Chelsea, to promote her new book and blast Trump on his handling of Ukraine. Clinton lamented losing to Trump despite her “66 million letters of recommendation,” in an interview for CBS Sunday Morning.
Clinton came out in support of impeachment in an interview published the same day Pelosi announced she was backing an inquiry.
