The president said the growing calls for impeachment are 'sad.'
President Donald Trump attacked a Texas representative Tuesday, saying Democrat impeachment threats against him are a sign of grasping at straws to his presidency.
Democrats keep mounting potential challengers to Trump for the 2020 election—21 major candidates to this point—all while maintaining pressure on the Mueller report and demanding ex-White House counsel Don McGahn to testify before House committees. “We all swore to protect our nation, and that begins with making sure that no one, including the President of the United States, is acting above the law,” Tlaib wrote in March. “I urge your support in recommending that the House Committee on Judiciary begin hearings, take depositions, and issue subpoenas to answer this question that is fundamental to the rule of law and the preservation of our democracy.
"To ignore a President’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country," she tweeted,"and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways." Now Cummings is going after the Treasury Department if they block his committee from obtaining documents, threatening to prevent them from getting their salaries.
