Democrat Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in an interview with CNN that it “would be a waste of our time” to pursue impeachment over President Donald Trump’s phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger since Inauguration Day is only two weeks away.
“I do believe with only 14 or 15 days left in this presidency it would be a waste of our time here in the House to pursue impeachment,” said Clyburn on Tuesday. “I suspect, if all that I heard on this tape is to be investigated, there could very well be criminal charges brought by state and local governments down there in Georgia, both the state and of course Atlanta, and I would hope that that would be pursued. That is something that can be pursued even after January 20.”
