Several Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee pressed Speaker Pelosi on Monday evening to move forward with an impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

Raskin, a former constitutional law professor at American University, said that he supports opening an impeachment inquiry so that Democrats could gain access to information they’re seeking in their investigations, an argument that other Democrats including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., have recently made. Raskin said, however, that he was not in favor of impeachment.
“We’ve always said one thing we’ll lead to another as we get information,” Pelosi said during the meeting to her members, still wary about the calls to open proceedings that appear to be growing among rank-and-file members. “We still have unexhausted avenues here,” she added, referring specifically to the ability for Democrats to use inherent contempt against those who defy subpoenas.
