'The Democrats are now preparing to pounce,' said David Gergen, a former White House adviser to four presidents.
A former presidential adviser said President Donald Trump’s bombastic weekend appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference was that of a man “seeing the walls close in.”
CNN host Ana Cabrera asked Gergen, who is a senior political analyst for CNN, “Do you see the candidate who was impervious to scandal, or do you see someone who is now really feeling the walls close in?” Congressional committees have already begun their own investigations of the president and his closest associates. But even if the Mueller report does not prove fatal to Trump, its findings will likely offer Democrats ammunition and new avenues of investigation.
Later in the discussion, Gergen focused on the significance of the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, which more than 40 years ago drove the investigation that eventually toppled President Richard Nixon.
