Tlaib says the committee should investigate matters outside of what Mueller looked into, including questions about whether Trump violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause, whether he “committed crimes to defraud the United States” by directing Michael Cohen “to make payments to interfere and affect” the 2016 election, and whether there is evidence that Trump obstructed Mueller’s investigation — a charge that the special counsel did not make a judgement on, according to the Barr summary.
The letter asks members to reply by noon on Wednesday if they’d like to sign on. It’s unclear at this point if anyone has, but it appears that support seems to be minimal from Democratic leadership and even some of Tlaib’s allies. Impeachment has been a dicey topic for Democrats since they regained control of the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections. Some newly elected members have been outspoken about the issue while leadership has attempted to tamp down on it, knowing that it could be politically destructive for Democrats if impeachment is an overtly partisan issue.On Tuesday, she said that “impeachment's not on the table until it is on the table.
