Rep Elijah Cummings can foresee impeachment

The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said Sunday he can “foresee” impeachment proceedings against President Trump down the road, but urged his party to take caution.

In an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Maryland Democrat, expressed concern about pursuing impeachment, saying that because the American people are still deeply divided over the contents of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on investigation of Russian election interference, Congress must do more probing of its own.

Mr. Cummings said those investigations should include an examination of the president’s finances and firing of key officials, as well as hearing from former White House counsel Don McGahn. Mr. McGahn told investigators that he threatened to resign from his post in June 2017 after the president asked him to fire Robert Mueller.

“We need to be able to have the public know that information so that they can see that they have a president that basically has been about the business, I think, of doing great harm not only to our country but to our democracy,” Mr. Cummings said.

The Justice Department released a redacted version of Mr. Mueller’s report on Thursday. The pages show that the special counsel did not find sufficient evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians, but intentionally left the question of obstruction open-ended to protect Congress’ ability to move forward with impeachment if they choose to.

House Judiciary Committee subpoenas former White House lawyer Donald McGahn for testimony and documents


The move on Monday is part of the panel's investigation of whether President Trump obstructed justice.
In a statement, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the committee, said the panel was seeking public testimony from McGahn, describing him as a critical witness to many of the alleged instances of obstruction of justice described in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's report.
