Former President Jimmy Carter said Donald Trump should not be impeached even if investigators discover wrongdoing by the president.

“My own preference would be that he not be impeached, but that he be able to serve out his term, because I think he wants to do a good job. And I’m willing to help him, if I can help him, and give him the benefit of the doubt,” Carter said on CBS’ Sunday Morning.

“You know, I have confidence in the American system of government,” Carter added. “I think ultimately the restraints on a president from the Congress and from the Supreme Court will be adequate to protect our nation if he serves a full term.

“And I think (Trump) will serve a full term unless the special investigator… brings some criminal charges against him,” added Carter, a Democrat who served as president from 1977-1981.
