Monday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said President Donald Trump has “committed impeachable offenses.”

Host Peter Alexander said, “There are some grassroots Democrats who have said that if Democrats take control of the House, perhaps the Senate as well, that they should impeach President Trump again. Do you believe that would be the right strategy?”

Van Hollen said, “Peter, I think our focus should be on these issues that are top of mind for the American people. And that means dealing with the affordability crisis, ending the senseless war in Iran. But it is important to hold this administration accountable for all its lies. For example, the fact that it still hasn’t held accountable the DHS agents who gunned down American citizens in Minneapolis. They refused to hold them accountable. Instead, they’re going after Renee Good’s partner. So we do need absolutely to hold this lawless Trump administration accountable. That’s what we should be focused on as well as these other important issues.”

Alexander said, “Should Democrats impeach the president if they take control of the House?”

Van Hollen said, “I think he’s committed impeachable offenses. I think our focus should be on dealing with these big economic issues and taking other measures to hold members of this administration accountable. ”
