Senate to probe talk on ousting Trump

The chairman of the US senate judiciary committee has vowed to investigate allegations that top FBI and justice department officials discussed ways to remove president Trump from office.

Ex-acting FBI chief, Andrew Mccaba said deputy attorney general Rod Roseustein had talks in 2017 about a constitutional clause that allows the removal of a president if demand unfit to rule.

Mr Roseustein has previously denied the claim, while pledges have been made to investigate the matter urgently.
