The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit to obtain secret grand jury material from Mueller’s investigation. CNN’s SunlenSerfaty says that it’s “a big step forward toward opening up an impeachment inquiry.”
The lawsuit, which was filed Friday, escalates the investigation into the President being conducted by the committee that could lead to impeachment proceedings. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and other committee Democrats said Friday that the court filing is a new step that signals the committee is actively considering whether to introduce articles of impeachment.
It's a binary issue," said Jessica Andrews, a spokeswoman to House Judiciary ranking Republican Doug Collins of Georgia.White House officials are brushing off the suggestion that impeachment is still on the table. The White House views this latest attempt as a strategy to keep the word impeachment afloat to appease their party, but the sense in the White House is that it's no longer viewed as a real possibility, especially following Mueller's testimony, the officials said.
