MSNBC host Ari Melber has raised the prospect of impeachment against President Donald Trump following reports that Trump is poised to settle his $10 billion (£7.87 billion) lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for a $1.7 billion (£1.34 billion) taxpayer-funded compensation fund — one he would effectively control.
Speaking on his programme 'The Beat' on Friday, Melber said the arrangement was 'the type of thing that a Congress could impeach and hold a trial on and review the evidence.' His remarks came hours after ABC News first reported the details of the proposed settlement, which would see Trump drop multiple legal claims against his own government in return for what critics are already calling a presidential 'slush fund.'
