Donald Trump has been warned the “countdown” to impeachment is underway, after his former lawyer implicated the president in crimes committed during the 2016 election.
On Thursday, Mr Trump publicly addressed the prospect of impeachment for the first time, claiming the market would “crash” if his presidency was threatened.
“I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.”
Mr Trump’s comments came after Michael Cohen, his long-time legal “fixer”, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including two counts of campaign finance violations, which he said he committed at the direction of the president.
Cohen admitted paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both alleged to have had extramarital affairs with Mr Trump.
Tom Cole, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, warned it was "too soon" to begin impeachment proceedings, but said: "If something comes out that is clear and convincing and impeachable, I think members will act."
Al Green, a Democratic congressman who has previously filed articles of impeachment against Mr Trump, suggested he may do so again following Cohen’s guilty plea.
"I think the president has to realise that the countdown to impeachment has already started,” he said. "He, at some point, will have to choose if he will face impeachment or if he will resign. It will be his choice. The congress will have no choice but to act.”

He’ll get it started! He just needs to push the primer button a few more times and spray the air cleaner with EZ-Start!!!
I was going to say.
This could lead to the Apocalypse and that’s one of its good points.
Our president will never be removed with out millions of dead bodies. They will never reverse this election. I assure you. This will be a blood bath if they even get close . Only 500,000 died in the first civil war. Btw. We have the military!!
I’m slow tonight.....took me about 2 seconds instead of 1 and then (smacks forehead) ..... LOL
Al Green, along with the majority of his cohorts: Deplorables have a countdown of their own. Countdown to your relocation to Gitmo.
The Left should be orgasmic over Kavanaugh because he believes in stare decisis. Their precious baby murders will go marching on.
Where do you people dig up this garbage?
Nothing to do with Cohen.
The “countdown to impeachment” began the moment Jeff Sessions said, “I recuse myself.”
“and not a damned person anywhere better tell me to “vote, vote, vote” again.”
Okay, go start a Committee of Safety in your community. That takes more effort than voting.
Well, leftist Yahoo has it, of course.
Count down to re-election has also begun and is far more likely.
Rat and Repuke Swamp Dwellers going all out to try and get Trump before he unleashes on them. They’re the ones with something to hide, but then we all know that!
IF trump finds himself cornered, and I do emphasize IF. IF we ever reach that point I hope president trump goes out burning this thing down. Why is our side the only side expected to do what’s right for the country while the left does whatever the hell they want, no matter the consequences? If the republic needs to burn to finally be rid of the left then I say burn the ***** down!!
I don’t know about you good people here but I am 100% willing to deal with some massive pain if it means even a chance of ridding ourselves of the left.
“They were decently fed, and then, they were decently shot”
The anti-American loser politicians are pat. Hopefully , Justice will find them all.
