Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is doubling down on her calls for
impeaching Donald Trump, tweeting Tuesday that it's time to "get ready
for impeachment."
Waters has been
pushing for Congress to quickly impeach Trump if evidence is produced proving
collusion with the Russian government.
"The only thing
that I am focused on is credible investigations to bring out the facts. ... If
the facts are there, then I think we should move very quickly to do something
about it. And if there was collusion, and any support for undermining our
democracy, I think the president should be impeached," Waters said earlier this month.
"I've said that,
and that's where I stand."
U.S. intelligence
agencies have concluded that Russian hackers interfered in last year's
elections for the express purpose of helping Trump win, and both the Senate and
House Intelligence committees are investigating the nature and extent of the
intrusion.
Numerous reports have
emerged linking members of Trump's inner circle directly to Kremlin officials.
The White House has fervently maintained that those communications were
innocuous, and no evidence has surfaced of collusion between the Trump campaign
and Russia.
