'Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you can't impeach,' Trump stated earlier on Twitter.
"The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests," Mueller wrote in his report.
This narrative clearly annoys Trump, who has built a career on his image as a ruthless boss, famous during his television performances on"The Apprentice" for telling contestants:"You're fired!" Even though the aides allegedly disobeyed him so that they could prevent more serious damage, Trump denied Monday that any sort of insubordination would be possible.In addition to the ongoing fight over what to do about the Mueller report, Trump faces danger from congressional probes into his business interests and tax history, which in a break with tradition he has refused to make public.
On Monday, Trump and his businesses filed a Washington federal court lawsuit to try and block a subpoena issued by the House Oversight and Reform Committee to gain access to their financial records. "The Democratic Party, with its newfound control of the US House of Representatives, has declared all-out political war against President Donald J. Trump," the filing said.
