Representative of the House of Representatives of the US Congress from the Democratic Party Al Green on Wednesday made an appeal to announce impeachment to President Donald Trump for obstructing justice ". According to the C-Span TV channel, Greene explained that he is not acting for his own political purposes, but because in the United States "no one can be above the law, including the president".

According to Green, the reason for the impeachment of the US president is the dismissal of the FBI director who was investigating the links between Trump and Russia, who interfered in the presidential election.

A week ago, Donald Trump fired the head of the FBI, James Komi, on the recommendation of the Minister of Justice, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The White House explained the decision of the US president by the fact that Komi abused his powers by shutting down the case against former Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton on unauthorized use of a private e-mail server. Komi learned about his dismissal from the TV - during a speech to the FBI staff he saw on the television screen a running line. Initially, the FBI director did not believe this, calling the news "a pretty good draw".

Senator Greene also stressed that the announcement of impeachment to the president may not end with a real removal from power of Donald Trump, RIA Novosti reports.. Impeachment means bringing charges against the president by the House of Representatives, he added..

Earlier, Democrats, members of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Public Reform and the Senate Judiciary Committee, demanded an investigation into the US president for alleged links between his team and Russian officials. As part of this investigation, the FBI has already requested documents on the contacts of the former head of the James Komi bureau with the White House on the investigation of Russia's "interference" in the 2016 elections, writes RT.

Earlier, senators invited the Komi to address the hearings. Then, the acting director of the FBI, Andrew McKabe, was asked to provide any records or notifications related to contacts between the Komi and senior representatives of the White House and the Ministry of Justice in the framework of the investigation of Russia's actions.

President of the United States Donald Trump reacted peculiarly to what is happening in the Senate. In the course of his speech to graduates of the Academy of Coast Guard of the country, he stated that none of the politicians in history were treated worse than with him.
