Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said good defense attorneys make concessions about their clients, but 'the problem is the president wants everyone to say he was perfect.'
On the day that the House of Representatives voted in favor of approving procedures for the impeachment inquiry, a former U.S. attorney appointed by President Barack Obama said there is enough evidence to impeach Donald Trump over abuse of power.
"With respect to what happened with Ukraine, the Founders believed there has to be a process by which you remove a president of the United States for, among other things, abuse of power and lack of fitness for office," Bharara said. "It's a legitimate exercise of the representatives' authority and obligation to the Constitution to find that to be a sufficient abuse of power, that impeachment is proper," Bharara said.
