Trump told to 'resign or be impeached' if reports he instructed attorney Cohen to lie to congress are proven

Donald Trump is facing calls to “resign or be impeached”, if reports he instructed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow can be verified. The president is under pressure after two law enforcement officials involved in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian collusion in the 2016 US election claimed to have obtained evidence of possible obstruction. Several Democrats have urged Congress to seek clarification of what information the special counsel may hold on the matter, with one calling for Mr Trump to be removed if the claims, first published by Buzzfeed News, are proven.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Asks at 'What Point Is Fox News Obligated to Not Lie?' About Shutdown

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after Fox News on Thursday over coverage of her during the government shutdown and bluntly asked what the network’s obligation was to tell the truth. “As I say *in the clip you posted* we WENT to the majority leader’s office – he was absent. So we decided to drop letters off at almost every place he could run (including the GOP break room),” she tweeted. “At what point is @FoxNews obligated to not lie? And more importantly, #WheresMitch?” The matter at hand concerned coverage of Ocasio-Cortez’s attempt to find Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and demand to him in person that he consider legislation passed by the House of Representatives to reopen the government. McConnell has said he would not bring any bill to reopen the government to the floor that President Trump would veto. Also Read: Daily Mail Editor in Chief Noah Kotch Exits After Just 7 Months In Fox News’ reporting, Peter Doocy told viewers that Ocasio-Cortez and others had been looking for McConnell in the wrong place. “They couldn’t find him because those lawmakers went to the wrong office,” Doocy said. “McConnell works out of the Majority Leader’s space in the capitol, which the lawmakers would have needed to pass on their way to the Senate side to try and make their point.” “McConnell’s folks say they had no advance notice that House Democrats were coming to say ‘hi’ anyway,” he added. Also Read: Whoopi Goldberg Blasts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'Learn the Job' and Stop 'Pooping on People' For Ocasio-Cortez, the moment was a one-two punch, allowing her to take a shot at Fox News while also promoting her hashtag “#WheresMitch” to try and muscle Republicans into reopening the government. In a statement, Doocy defended his reporting. “In an earlier segment today, I played a clip of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying in her own words that she had been looking for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, recorded at McConnell’s Russell office,” he said. “I then stated after the clip that they went to the wrong place, simply meaning that he wasn’t there at the time nor was he in any of the places they outlined in the clip that we played. They didn’t have anything set up with McConnell’s team, which is why they couldn’t locate him and what I was ultimately trying to explain to our viewers.” Also Read: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Fox Guest Calling Me 'Little Girl' Is 'Walking Argument to Tax Misogyny' The shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history, continues to remain deadlocked over funding for President Trump’s proposed wall along the Mexican border. The billionaire has demanded roughly $5 billion for the long promised barrier, while House Democrats have refused. The chamber’s new speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has vowed to block the project and has called the wall an “immorality.” Read original story Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Asks at ‘What Point Is Fox News Obligated to Not Lie?’ About Shutdown At TheWrap
