The paper's editorial board penned a scathing piece demanding President Trump be impeached for both the Ukraine and Russia scandals.
"[T]he evidence produced over the last two months is more than sufficient to persuade us that he should be impeached," the December 7 editorial begins."Witness after witness testified that the president held up desperately needed, congressionally approved aid to Ukraine to extort a personal political favor for himself. In so doing, Trump flagrantly abused the power of his office.
"[T]hose concerns must yield to the overwhelming evidence that Trump perverted U.S. foreign policy for his own political gain. That sort of misconduct is outrageous and corrosive of democracy. It can't be ignored by the House, and it merits a full trial by the Senate on whether to remove him from office," the piece continued.
The board urged the House to give Americans and the Senate a specific list of Trump's egregious misconduct in office, and took the aggressive position of saying he should also be charged with obstruction of justice for his actions to"thwart or hobble" the Mueller investigation.
"Trump's defenders argue that the evidence against him on Ukraine is incomplete and thus inconclusive," the Saturday piece continued.
