'There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you can't impeach,' the president wrote on Twitter.
President Donald Trump on Monday railed against Democrats calling for his impeachment following the publication of special counsel Robert Mueller's partially redacted report last week, writing in a post on Twitter that"Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment." Trump tweet
The investigation found insufficient evidence to bring an obstruction of justice charge against the president, Mueller wrote, but uncovered several instances in which the president sought to end the probe. Mueller found that those attempts were unsuccessful largely because Trump's subordinates failed to carry out his orders.
Prior to the report's release, Trump appointee Attorney General William Barr cleared the president of obstruction charges. And the president's attorneys have said the report shows the president is innocent. "Some of this would be impeachable," Nadler said Sunday on"Meet the Press." Nadler said it would be necessary to have both Barr and Mueller come before the Judiciary Committee.The Constitution provides for impeachment in cases of"treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors." In order to impeach the president, a majority of the House of Representatives would be required to vote in favor.
