Bill Clinton admonishes Trump over impeachment behavior, saying, 'You've got a job to do'
in Santa Clarita, California. Tapper began by asking Clinton about Attorney General William Barr's position that gun control legislation cannot be moved while the impeachment process is underway."My answer is look at how much we got done in 1998 and 1999. Even in '97, we had very productive actions in all three years," Clinton responded. He also said that 1995 and 1996 were more difficult, because Republicans called for two government shutdowns.
Tapper asked Clinton what message he would give Trump who has claimed,"I can't work with these people. They're impeaching me." Clinton gave Trump simple advice."My message would be, look, you got hired to do a job," the 42nd president said. He warned that dawdling during the impeachment would be detrimental to Trump's legacy, saying,"You don't get the days back.
"Every day's an opportunity to make something good happen," Clinton reiterated."I would say, 'I've got lawyers and staff people handling this impeachment inquiry, and they should just have at it. Meanwhile, I'm going to work for the American people.' That's what I would do." Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998. He offered advice on serving during the impeachment to Trump in a CNN interview on Thursday.The former president later returned to the topic of gun control legislation."[Trump] did indicate a couple times he would go along with this, and then, obviously, the gun lobby got a hold of him and pulled him back, but at some point denial is no longer an option," he said.
The former president called for a"clean background check law, one that works in the modern world, takes advantage of our information technologies, and basically, doesn't bend over backwards to make it easy for people who have no business getting these guns to get them."
