Rep. Adam Schiff tells ThisWeekABC congressional Democrats 'may' take up impeachment in the wake of special counsel Mueller's report, and that the decision will be made based on 'what is the best thing for the country.'
Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday congressional Democrats may take up impeachment in the wake of the release of the special counsel report, but will consider the political environment when determining any action.
On Friday, Warren tweeted that the"severity of [the president's] misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States." Schiff, D-California, said Warren"makes an important point," but added that Democrats will have to take the"political environment" into consideration when deciding whether to undertake impeachment.
Conway, the White House counselor to the president, had said earlier on the program that"the Mueller report does say that Russia tried to interfere with this election... The alleged Russian interference in the election was done, was unaided by anybody in the Trump campaign." Raddatz, meanwhile, pressed Schiff on what he told her on"This Week" on May 27, 2018, when he said that the Russia investigation examined a coverup"of a size and scope probably beyond Watergate."
On Thursday, members of Congress and the public were finally able to read the highly-anticipated nearly 450-page report from special counsel Robert Mueller on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The report, parts of which were redacted, laid out the"sweeping and systematic fashion" with which the Kremlin meddled in the election with the goal of electing Donald Trump.
