Donald Trump must be removed from office for “treasonous conduct” following his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin, a former White House ethics chief has said, The Independent reports.
Richard Painter, a law professor and former ethics lawyer in the George W Bush administration, called on all members of congress to “start the process” of impeachment or resign.
His comments came after Mr Trump accepted the Russian leader’s denial that the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 US presidential election, despite his own intelligence agencies’ conclusion to the contrary.
