Clyburn says he thinks House will eventually impeach Trump
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Sunday he believes President Trump will be impeached "at some point" but that Democrats must first build a case for impeachment.
Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in House leadership, offered the remarks in an interview on "State of the Union with Jake Tapper."
When Tapper asked Clyburn if he thought Democrats would launch impeachment proceedings against Trump, he said "yes, that's exactly what I feel."
"What Nancy Pelosi is trying to do, and the rest of us in the House of Representatives, is developing a process to efficiently move on this issue so when we get to the vote, something she calls iron clad I call effective, that is why we are trying to take our time and do this right," Clyburn said.
Clyburn said the House Democrats are not "particularly interested in the Senate," but rather are waiting to "bring the public along."
Polls show a majority of voters oppose impeachment and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has consistently set a high bar for moving forward, largely because she sees a political risk to it.
