Jerrold Nadler and his Judiciary Committee colleagues conceded they were in the midst of investigating whether articles of impeachment should be filed against Trump. Or, in other words, an
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has said she's not slow-walking a potential impeachment inquiry into the president and that such a process will play out in a"timely fashion."
Nadler, flanked by several Judiciary Committee members, said they have already been"in effect" conducting an impeachment inquiry through their ongoing investigations into Trump and whether he may have committed obstruction of justice based on evidence in the Mueller report. At a press conference, he and his colleagues conceded they were investigating whether articles of impeachment should be filed against Trump.
"The mode we were operating under before, it really was an oversight function," said Representative Veronica Escobar of Texas."We're now crossing a threshold with this filing... officially entering into an examination of whether or not to recommend articles of impeachment." Nadler and Pelosi have both stated publicly they're opposed to an inquiry, but privately it's been reported that Nadler has pushed the speaker toward supporting it. Prompted whether he would ever reach the point at which he would formally break with Pelosi and advocate for an impeachment inquiry, Nadler responded:"We are continuing an investigation of the president's malfeasances. There's no point speculating whether the speaker will agree with our decision at that point.
