“Well, I certainly think there’s reason to believe that there was obstruction of justice,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday morning that there’s reason to believe President Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice.
“Well, I certainly think there’s reason to believe that there was obstruction of justice,” the New York Democrat told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” “The Mueller report laid out 10 different instances that we need to look into separately as part of our investigation as to what may have taken place.”Todd referenced a May 18 series of tweets from Rep.
“And it certainly appears to be the case that the so-called attorney general intentionally misrepresented the conclusions of the Mueller report as part of an effort to fool the American people,” Jeffries said.
