Democratic congressman of House Intelligence Committee Denny Heck has predicted that the United States President Donald Trump’s legal troubles could be a signal of the “beginning of the end” of his administration, amid controversy over three years of imprisonment to Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
Heck believed that Trump’s administration was near to the “beginning of the end” due to Trump’s alleged involvement in the process of violating campaign finance law in order to silence two women, who claimed to have had relationship with Trump, though Trump denied such allegations.
While in an interview, Heck said, “I’m gonna say something tonight I haven’t said before.” Heck further said, “But in light of what happened today, in light of all of the events of the last few weeks, in light of all the sentencing memos that have been filed now, 36 indictments, three prison terms … I’m prepared to say something I’ve never said.”
The Democrat further added saying, “The writing’s on the wall, the walls are closing in and this is the begging of the end for the Trump administration.”
The Democrat’s comes after Cohen was sentenced for three years in prison for violating campaign finance law and attempting series of other financial crimes.
Cohen has on Wednesday, during court hearing, said, “Recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak, and it was correct but for a much different reason than he was implying … It was because time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds.” Trump has reiterated that he has done no wrong.
When asked about news of Trump facing impeachment, Heck said: “I don’t know precisely what it means except for what I intend for it to mean is this: that the Mueller investigation is getting closer and closer.”
He added saying, “Now, they now have the president as an unindicted co-conspirator for breaking campaign finance laws,” adding, “But we also know that they’re going down two other tracks: they’re going down of course the Russian interference track, which was their core mission. We already know that there was collusion.”
Heck on Wednesday, warned Trump, ““I don’t think that Bob Mueller is going to be deterred here.”
