Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano has said it is “almost certain” that Democrats will launch an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump after special counsel Robert Mueller’s public remarks on Wednesday, despite Democratic leaders still resisting such a move.
“It’s a can of worms, it’s a new headache that the president doesn’t need, it advances the law into Congress’ court, it makes [an] impeachment investigation almost certain,” Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, said Thursday morning on Fox & Friends.
Despite Napolitano’s confidence, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of California, the top Democrat in Congress, still appeared resistant to moving forward with impeachment following Mueller’s comments. «You don’t bring an impeachment unless you have all the facts,» Pelosi said on Wednesday, a few hours after the special counsel’s public address.

The speaker argued that she would follow the sentiment of the American public, not partisan political interests.
«We won’t be swayed by a few people who think one way or another who are running for president as much as I respect all of them and they have the freedom to be for impeachment,» Pelosi said, in what came across as criticism of several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates who have called for pursuing impeachment.
