Booker takes the case for impeachment to 'Fox & Friends'
Politico
Sen. Cory Booker took the case for impeaching President Donald Trump to Fox News Wednesday morning, laying out the case on the president's favorite morning show for the Congressional inquiry announced one day earlier.
The New Jersey senator and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate's Fox News appearance came on "Fox & Friends," the morning cable news show where the president is the regular recipient of flattering coverage. But Booker, in a one-on-one interview with host Steve Doocy, argued in favor of Trump's impeachment, a step the senator has long endorsed on the primary campaign trail.
This is not a gleeful moment for this country, he said. This is a very sad moment. This is not about politics. This is about patriotism.
Trump has come under heavy criticism over the last week over revelations that he pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a top contender in the Democratic primary field, and his son, Hunter Biden. The president has insisted that his conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart was totally appropriate but has thus far refused to release an intelligence community whistleblower report on the call, although the White House has signaled that it may do so.
