Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused President Donald Trump of turning U.S. foreign policy into a “cheap extortion racket” amid calls for his impeachment.
During a speech at Georgetown University on Friday, Clinton discussed her thoughts on Trump’s impeachment battle for the first time publically.
She claimed Trump has turned U.S. foreign policy into a “cheap extortion racket.”
“We all know that [Pelosi] has just announced the opening of an impeachment inquiry into the president on the basis of evidence that he betrayed his oath of office to uphold the Constitution and protect and defend our country.
