RUSH TRANSCRIPT: ELLISON: "I think that Donald Trump has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment. On day one -- On day one, he was in violation of the emoluments clause. This is part of the Constitution that says as the president, you can't get payments from a foreign power. The day people checked into his hotel and started paying him who were -- were foreign dignitaries he was in violation of that law. There is already a lawsuit filed against him. Right now it's not about only Donald Trump. It's about the integrity of the presidency. So yeah, I think we need to begin investigations to not go after Donald Trump, but to protect our constitution and the presidency of the United States to make sure that nobody can monetize the presidency and make profit off of it for their own gain."
