John Oliver Lays Out the Case for Impeaching Trump: ‘Nobody Is Above the Law’
On Sunday night, John Oliver dedicated the main story of Last Week Tonight to laying out the case for impeaching President Donald Trump.
Though impeachment isn’t popular with the public, as a majority of Americans currently do not support impeachment proceedings—a point House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made time and time again—Oliver argued that most of the public isn’t aware of the contents of the Mueller report, and impeachment could be a way of informing the public of it, thus swaying public opinion.
“It is true that many people don’t fully understand what impeachment involves, so we thought tonight might be a good time to discuss what it is, why it may be warranted, and what the risks might be in carrying it out,” Oliver stated.
