The former Massachusetts governor also said he believes members of the House have a duty to impeach the president.
Former Governor of Massachusetts William Weld has accused President Donald Trump of committing impeachable offenses"way worse than Nixon," it has been reported.
The GOP primary challenger told Boston public broadcaster WGBH on Monday that he had"never seen such evidence in an obstruction case," even though he served as a counsel on the impeachment inquiry against Richard Nixon. He also suggested that he wanted to see President Trump removed from office, adding that he believed the House was duty-bound to vote for impeachment, according to WGBH.against the commander-in-chief, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction.Molly Riley/AFP via Getty Images
President Trump has been accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine in an effort to pressure the country into announcing investigations into his political rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.Speaking to WGBH News Morning Edition host Joe Mathieu on Monday, Weld said:"President Trump is way out there, way worse than Nixon in terms of impeachable, removable offenses."
He added:"I'm a longtime federal prosecutor... I've never seen such evidence in an obstruction case. Extorting a foreign leader to come interfere in a U.S. election for the advantage of the person doing the extorting, that's as bad as it gets in terms of what the framers were afraid of, and what they thought should be grounds for removal.
