Watergate attorney says Trump will 'undoubtedly be impeached' [View all]


Watergate attorney says Trump will 'undoubtedly be impeached'
By Aris Folley - 09/11/18 10:37 AM EDT


Andrew Hall, who served as an attorney for former President Richard Nixon’s top adviser in the Watergate scandal, said in a recent interview that President Trump will "undoubtedly be impeached.”

In a recent interview with the Independent, Hall, who had served as counsel for John D. Ehrlichman, Nixon’s former senior adviser for domestic affairs who was later convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury, said he is watching history repeat itself with Trump as more of his associates become caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election interference.

“The coverup is always worse than the crime,” the attorney told the British publication. “And this one is very shady. We have a sitting president who will undoubtedly be impeached.”


Hall’s remarks arrives as more bombshell revelations emerge surrounding the release of veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s book about the Trump administration, including the news of an alleged mock interview former Trump attorney John Dowd arranged with the president on Jan. 27 to help Trump prepare for a possible sit-down with Mueller.
