Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has accused President Trump of creating a constitutional crisis in the United States through his attacks on the judiciary. Schumer criticized Trump’s calls to impeach a judge who ruled against him in a case involving the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants. He stated that Trump’s actions are putting democracy at risk, as he believes Trump is lawless and believes he should be able to do whatever he wants regardless of the law. Schumer mentioned that Democrats in the Senate will not impeach judges, as they are appointed for lifetime tenure and removal through impeachment requires a majority vote in the House and two-thirds in the Senate, which Republicans currently control. Legal experts have argued that Trump is defying court orders and delegitimizing the judiciary, while Trump and White House officials deny this. Schumer emphasized the importance of monitoring Trump’s actions closely to protect democracy. The full interview will air on “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker this Sunday.
