WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-- Larry Flynt, founder of Hustler Magazine, offered 10 million U.S. dollars Sunday for information that could lead to the impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump. In a full-page ad carried by the Washington Post, Flynt questioned the legitimacy of Trump's presidency, saying the president "was installed only by the quirks of our antiquated Electoral College." Flynt named a list of reasons why Trump should be impeached, including the president's abrupt firing of former FBI Director James Comey who was then leading the Russia probe and his withdrawal of the country from the landmark Paris climate accord reached in 2017. The adult magazine founder also attacked Trump for what the ad said was "unconscionable defense of the KKK and neo-Nazis after the Charlottesville riots," while stressing his concerns that the commander-in-chief might trigger a nuclear world war. "Impeachment would be a messy, contentious affair, but the alternative -- three more years of destabilizing dysfunction -- is worse," Flynt wrote. "Both good Democrats and good Republicans who put country over party did it before with Watergate." Flynt said impeachment, to succeed, would require "unimpeachable" evidence, and that's why he's making the offer. He admitted that he's not expecting Trump's wealthy allies to "rat him out," but expressed confidence that "there are many people in the know for whom $10 million is a lot of money." |
