Senator Bernie Sanders thinks the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump needs to move fast.

The 2020 Democratic presidential candidate appeared for his ninth interview on The Late Show Thursday, and talked about the Ukraine scandal surrounding the president.

"Donald Trump is probably the most corrupt president in the modern history of this country," Sanders said. "He is really an embarrassment to our country, and let's get moving on the impeachment.

"This is an outrage on top of an outrage," he added. "This has taken millions of people to say, you know what? Enough is enough with this guy."

Sanders and Colbert discussed the relatively uncomplicated nature of Trump's actions, with the Senator referring to it as "consistent with his behaviour."

"It's on-brand," agreed Colbert.
