President Donald Trump was impeached in December 2019, charged by the House of Representatives with abusing his office to gain leverage over Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election. This week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard rebooted that scandal with the release of a handful of newly declassified documents that question the beginning of the impeachment investigation — in hopes of discrediting everything that followed.
Gabbard’s new disclosures mirror a well-worn playbook used by Trump’s loyalists to investigate his investigators. But in every instance, including this latest endeavor, the evidence gathered of wrongdoing on Trump’s part has far outweighed proof of misconduct from his investigators.
This week on “Clock It,” Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels discuss President Trump’s feud with the pope over his comments on the war in Iran. Then, bestselling author and poet Cleo Wade joins to remind us that we are worthy of feeling hope for a better world.
