Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) explained this week how former President Barack Obama may be a relevant witness in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

"Part of impeachment is setting a precedent for what's going to happen in the future," Gowdy told Fox News host Sean Hannity,

"So, if the vice president can make that assertion, then he is relevant as a witness, but so too is President Obama because I would want to know whether or not he had the authority of the president at the time he made that that pronouncement that there'll be no loan guarantees unless the prosecutor is fired," he continued.

Gowdy explained that if Democrats claim that Trump has engaged in "unprecedented abuse of power" then that "makes what other presidents did relevant."

"If President Obama gave Joe Biden permission to condition loan guarantees on the firing of a prosecutor, then that makes both of them potentially relevant as witnesses," Gowdy said.

'If the House prevails in its claim of unilateral power to define executive privilege, then that privilege is essentially dead…The President becomes a vassal of king Congress…

this House impeachment is its own abuse of power'
