That's a tough one. On the one hand, innocent until proven guilty. On the other, it would be a bare-knuckle political move during an unusual time. The problem is precedent. It might be symbolically bad to do that.

One other argument for doing it is that he is a tool to enforce a policy that she in theory opposes.
