Fox News host Chris Wallace said he was told by a well-known GOP source that there is a 1-in-5 chance President Trump will be removed from office if the Senate holds an impeachment trial.
The figure came up during a conversation with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Fox News Sunday as the two discussed the controversies the Trump administration faces related to Ukraine and Syria.
"I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week, somebody whose name you would know well, who says that if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there is now a 20% chance he believes — obviously, it's just an estimate — now a 20% chance enough Republicans will vote with the Democrats to remove the president," Wallace said. He did not name the person.
Mulvaney called the prediction "just absurd" and said Wallace's Republican source "clearly doesn't know what they're talking about."
