Former President Bill Clinton said the House Democrats' impeachment probe shouldn't prevent President Trump from working with Dems on issues such as gun control. His comments came hours after a deadly shooting at a high school in Santa Clarita, California.
His comments came hours after a deadly shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, California. He told CNN's Jake Tapper on"The Lead" that it is an opportunity for Trump and Congress to work together. Trump has asserted that he cannot work with Democrats while the impeachment inquiry is taking place "Look, you got hired to do a job. You don't get to -- every day's an opportunity to make something good happen," Clinton said.
"I'm hoping that will become the model here."Clinton, who was impeached by a Republican-controlled House in 1998 on charges of obstruction of justice and lying under oath, called Attorney General William Barr's Wednesday comments that gun control measures have been"sidetracked" because of the impeachment inquiry an"excuse." Clinton said gun control is an obvious area where Trump could work with Democrats.
