House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler called President Trump’s repeated efforts to thwart the investigation as outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report potential grounds for impeachment.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler called President Trump’s repeated efforts to thwart the investigation as outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report potential grounds for impeachment.
While the probe found no conspiracy and drew no conclusions about charging Trump with obstruction, the redacted report detailed “multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations.”
One official singled out is former White House counsel Don McGahn, who according to Mueller’s report refused to follow up on a request from Trump to have the special counsel removed. Nadler said that he plans to call McGahn to testify before his committee. Even before the report was released, he requested Mueller to testify.
Presidential candidates hoping to challenge Trump in 2020 sounded off after the report was released along with other Democrats who are pushing for the House to begin impeachment proceedings. “Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: ‘Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.’ The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment,” Warren wrote on Twitter.
