Former AG Eric Holder says he sees 'grounds for impeachment' in Mueller report - alivitali and AFrancoTX
ATLANTA — Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he believes that President Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses.
Holder fell shy, however, of calling for the House to begin official proceedings, saying that lawmakers should first hear from Mueller, gather evidence, and see the unredacted report before making a"reasoned decision" on whether to pursue impeachment.Asked if he thought the U.S. was in a state of constitutional crisis, Holder said,"Not yet" — but"it's forming up."
Like the current attorney general, William Barr, Holder himself was also held in contempt of Congress during his tenure atop the Justice Department. But Holder stressed that the two instances weren't equivalent, calling them"fundamentally different."
