Democrats 'may' pursue impeachment against Donald Trump as Giuliani defends president

WASHINGTON – Top House Democrats said Sunday they will decide soon whether to pursue impeachment against President Donald Trump, while Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani argued that it would have been okay for the president to have accepted Russia's help during the 2016 election.

"Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, adding that he wants to see where the facts lead.

The Democrats "may" take up impeachment depending on "what is the best thing for the country," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, speaking on ABC's This Week.

Giuliani, meanwhile, said there would not have been anything necessarily wrong with the president and campaign aides taking information from the Russians about Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. Giuliani also said Trump would have been within his rights to have Mueller fired, a key event behind claims that Trump tried to obstruct justice.

“There's nothing wrong with taking information from Russians," Giuliani said on CNN's State of the Union. "It depends on where it came from.”
