Throughout the hours-long hearing, Democratic members accused the former Trump campaign manager of 'aiding' Trump in obstructing congressional oversight.
Although no bombshell revelations were made at Corey Lewandowski's combative congressional hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Democrats believed the former Trump campaign adviser offered them fresh ammunition for their impeachment investigation: obstruction of Congress.
This despite Lewandowski never having an official role in the administration, something Democrats say is a clear indication of obstruction of Congress and an abuse of power to try and hide attempts by Trump to thwart former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. "Mr. Lewandowski, when you refuse to answer these questions, you are obstructing the work of our committee. You are also proving our point for the American people to see — the President is intent on obstructing our legitimate oversight," Nadler told Lewandowski as White House lawyers sat directly behind him."You are aiding him in that obstruction. And I will remind you that Article 3 of the impeachment against President Nixon was based on obstruction of Congress.
