| Dear Katy, Attorney General William Barr will release special counsel Robert Mueller's report today.1 Despite pressure from Congress and the American people, the report will be heavily-redacted and exclude key pieces of information that could incriminate the Trump administration in high crimes and misdemeanors. But regardless of what is or isn't in the report, Trump is not exonerated. We don't need the report to tell us that Trump is guilty of corrupting the highest office in the nation. Whether it's declaring a fake national emergency in order to commit an unconstitutional power grab, attempting to ban an entire religion from our country, separating and indefinitely detaining immigrant families, undermining our democracy to line his pockets, or obstructing justice, it's clear that there are enough grounds for the House of Representatives to move forward with impeachment proceedings. But our representatives won't act unless we force them to. Rep. Rashida Tlaib has introduced a resolution calling on the House Committee on the Judiciary to start an official impeachment investigation into the Trump administration. Now, we need every member of Congress to back it. Tell the House of Representatives: Start an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now. Click here to sign the petition. The House Committee on the Judiciary has a responsibility to open an investigation into whether Trump and his businesses: - Violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause by accepting payments, regulatory approval, or other forms of direct and indirect financial benefits from foreign governments.
- Corrupted our political process and defrauded the United States by directing Michael Cohen to make illegal payments to interfere and affect the 2016 presidential election.
- Committed actions to obstruct the investigation led by the special counsel.
Every member of the House of Representative must stand with Rep. Tlaib as she takes bold moral action and back the resolution – but many won't act unless there is massive pressure to do so. Only Congress has the constitutional authority to hold Trump accountable and defend our democracy. It's time it stops outsourcing its power and opens an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now. Tell the House of Representatives: Start an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now.
