MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 11th December, 2018) US President Donald Trump expressed concern about the possibility of an impeachment, CNN reported, citing a source close to Trump.
Earlier this week, Jerry Nadler, a democratic representative from New York's 10th Congressional District in the US House of Representatives, said that claims about Trump tasking his former lawyer Michael Cohen to make illegal hush payments to women, who allegedly had affairs with Trump, might result in "impeachable offenses" if proven true.
According to the source, Trump believes that the impeachment is a "real possibility" after the House of Representatives passes under the control of the Democrats.
Another source told the media that Trump's aides believed that the only problem that might lead to impeachment is the allegations of Trump's involvement in violating campaign finance rules in the case of Cohen, who brokered Trump's mistresses for silence.
At the same time, the White House officials do not believe that Robert Mueller-led investigation into the alleged ties between Trump and Russia could lead to impeachment.
Last week, Cohen pleaded guilty to charges of lying to the US Congress about plans to build a Trump-branded real estate project in Moscow. Cohen's attorneys asked a judge for no jail time for their client, citing his cooperation in the probe into Russia's alleged role in the 2016 presidential election. Cohen should be sentenced next week in New York.
Moscow has repeatedly refuted accusations of meddling into US elections.
