Rep. Eric Swalwell to the Yahoo News "Skullduggery" podcast: Recent disclosures that the White House failed to act on intelligence showing that Russian operatives were paying bounties to kill American soldiers fully vindicates impeachment.
WASHINGTON — One of the most vocal advocates in the U.S. House of Representatives for impeaching President Trump said the recent disclosures that the White House failed to act on intelligence showing that Russian operatives were paying bounties to kill American soldiers fully vindicate the congressional efforts to remove him from office late last year.
As a member of the House intelligence and judiciary committees, Swalwell played a key role in the investigations last year that led the Democratic-controlled House to approve two articles of impeachment against the president, triggering a trial in the Republican-controlled Senate that found Trump not guilty. Swalwell has written a new book, “Endgame: Inside the Impeachment of Donald J. Trump,” the first account of the impeachment battle from one of its principals.

As for former national security adviser John Bolton’s claim that the House committed “impeachment malpractice” because the Ukraine-focused charges were too narrow, Swalwell was dismissive, and cited Bolton's previous refusal to testify during the Senate trial in January.
