Legal experts dismantle Rudy Giuliani’s claim that the courts should stop Democrats from impeaching Trump

With more Democrats in the House of Representatives moving in favor of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s conduct, the president’s attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said Friday that Democrats should be stopped in court from going forward.

But as legal experts quickly pointed out, Giuliani — who has served as a U.S. attorney — made an argument that’s completely contrary to the U.S. Constitution.

On Twitter, Giuliani said of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, “Based on no evidence supporting original falsified charge, Nadler wants to impeach. The entire investigation should be challenged in court as an unconstitutional attempt to destroy POTUS for political advantage. All the witch-hunt committees should be challenged in court.”
