After the public release of a redacted version of Robert Mueller’s Russia report, some top Democrats are publicly moving away from the idea of impeaching Donald Trump.
In the months and years that led up to the report’s release, Trump’s presidency was dogged by allegations that he and his campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. The report outlined a series of contacts between Trump campaign members and Russia, but found “sufficient evidence” to charge Trump on either colluding with Russia or obstructing justice on the Mueller probe afterward.
“The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the president’s corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law,” Mueller wrote in the report.
