The Hill - "Dems set to debate Trump impeachment in post-Mueller era"


House Democrats will huddle Tuesday morning in the Capitol for the first time since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on 2016 election tampering, which has heightened liberal calls for the impeachment of President Trump - and complicated the efforts of Democratic leaders seeking a more restrained response.

Heading into the gathering, most Democrats appear to be on board with leadership's cautious strategy, which rejects impeachment - at least for now - while various House committees continue to investigate the president's conduct.

At the same time, lawmakers are acknowledging that there are more voices talking about moving forward with impeachment in the post-Mueller world.

"To be sure, there are more people now talking about it and are more favorable toward that movement. But I also think more people are willing to do what the Speaker said," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. "We need to allow these committees of jurisdiction to proceed with their work."
