Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump has responded to speculation that he might be impeached
by warning that any such move would damage the economy.
In an interview with Fox & Friends, he said the market would crash and “everybody
would be very poor”.
He was speaking after Michael Cohen, his ex-lawyer, pleaded guilty to violating election
laws and said he had been directed to do so by Mr Trump.
Mr Trump has rarely spoken about the prospect of being impeached.
Correspondents say it is unlikely Mr Trump’s opponents would try to impeach him
before November’s mid-term elections.
Speaking in the interview, President Trump said: “I don’t know how you can impeach
somebody who’s done a great job.
“I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think
everybody would be very poor.”
Pointing to his head, he said: “Because without this thinking, you would see numbers
that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”
Cohen had said that he handled hush money payments to two women during the 2016
presidential campaign.
