Rep. Maxine Waters: Any other person who did what Trump did would be "prosecuted to the full extent of the law"
House TVRep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California, said the rules of the debate "won't allow me to cite all of the reasons why this President should be impeached" but said "there are many."
She cited the withholding of US security aid to Ukraine and the attempt to solicit help from the country to dig up dirt on the Bidens as "blatant abuse of power."
She said the House built an "irrefutable case" against President Trump with an "indisputable set of facts."
"Any other individual who would have been caught conducting themselves in the way this President has would have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law," she said.
