Impeach­ing Trump a third time would be ‘set­ting a stan­dard,’ Khan­na says

Rep. Ro Khan­na (D‑CA) said on Sun­day impeach­ing Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump for a third time would amount to “set­ting a stan­dard” should Democ­rats retake the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives in November’s midterm elec­tions.
While speak­ing with NBC News’s Kris­ten Welk­er on Meet the Press, Khan­na reject­ed the idea that House Democ­rats should refrain from inves­ti­gat­ing and “poten­tial­ly even impeach­ing” the pres­i­dent. Sen. Tam­my Duck­worth (D‑IL) “is warn­ing Democ­rats against doing that,” Welk­er not­ed, as she said ear­li­er in the week she’s not “inter­est­ed in being in a con­fronta­tion with Don­ald Trump” and Democ­rats should sim­ply “get back to work” if they retake the low­er cham­ber.
