Top Democratic presidential aspirants on Tuesday overwhelmingly supported the move of their party colleagues in the House of Representatives to impeach President Donald Trump, saying he had broken the law and there is strong evidence.

They launched fierce broadsides against Trump over the Ukrainian scandal at the heart of the impeachment inquiry.

Indian American Senator Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor and California Attorney General, said the evidence against Trump is so strong that it would not take enough time to complete impeachment proceedings against him.

“I don’t really think this impeachment process is going to take very long because as a former prosecutor I know a confession when I see it and he did it in plain sight.

“He has given us the evidence and he tried to cover it up putting it up in that special server and there’s been a clear consciousness of guilt,” Harris, a fierce critic of the President said at a Democratic presidential debate.

This would not take very long. Trump needed to be held accountable. He is, indeed, the “most corrupt and unpatriotic president we have ever had” she said in response to a question at the presidential debate hosted by CNN in Ohio.

Former vice president Joe Biden said the Congress had “no choice” but to begin an impeachment proceeding, which gave them more power to seek more information.

“This president is the most corrupt president in modern history, and I think all of our history,” he alleged. PTI
