On November 19, Professor Reginald Oh spoke at a CMBA “Hot Talk” focused on the ongoing impeachment inquiry. Professor Oh appeared on a panel with Professor Jonathan Adler (Case Western Reserve University School of Law), moderated by Marisa Darden, co-chair of the CMBA Criminal Law section.
Professor Oh laid out the case for impeachment, explaining the interrelated concepts of bribery and extortion, and why the existing evidence demonstrates that President Trump committed both bribery and extortion in his conduct. Professor Oh also responded to some of the defenses that have been advanced to date.
