Rahm Emanuel says Democrats should focus on ethics reforms rather than impeaching Trump
Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel called on Democratic lawmakers Sunday to set aside plans to impeach President Donald Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.
