-- The House Intelligence Committee is preparing to release a scathing report alleging President Donald Trump engaged in a months-long effort to seek foreign interference in the 2020 election and obstruct a congressional investigation.
It also will allege “an unprecedented campaign of obstruction in an effort to prevent the committees from obtaining evidence and testimony,” Nadler wrote. The reference that Trump “again sought foreign interference” in an election indicates Democrats may look beyond the Ukraine controversy at the heart of the current debate to examine whether Trump encouraged Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.Wednesday’s hearing is so far scheduled to include expert witnesses on the historical and constitutional basis of impeachment, and whether Trump’s alleged actions warrant pressing forward with possible articles of impeachment.
Asked about Nadler’s invitation to the White House earlier this week to take part in the Dec. 4 hearing, Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said, “The White House is currently reviewing Chairman Nadler’s letter - but what is obvious to every American is that this letter comes at the end of an illegitimate sham partisan process. The President has done nothing wrong and the Democrats know it.”
