Following Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s first public statement about the two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler declared, “With respect to [the] impeachment question at this point, all options are on the table
“And nothing should be ruled out,” said Nadler, D-N.Y., who made a statement to reporters Wednesday. “What Special Counsel Mueller said loud and clear today for the American people is that President Trump is lying when he says no collusion, no obstruction and that he was exonerated.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the first Democrats to call for impeachment after reading the full report upon its release, said, “Mueller’s statement makes clear what those who have read his report know: It is an impeachment referral, and it’s up to Congress to act. They should.” “Special counsel Mueller today repeated three central points which are critical for the American people,” Nadler said.
Therefore, Nadler said, “it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump. We will do so.” Trump had previously declared “total and complete exoneration” after the investigation ended in March, based on a summary by Attorney General William Barr, and again when the report was released to the public a month later, despite a passage saying that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
Mueller assured that in the investigation into obstruction, “if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. The introduction to the volume 2 of our report explains that decision.”
