More recently, Bill Clinton was impeached on two counts, including obstruction of justice. It’s against this backdrop that the chairman isn’t just willing to tell a national television audience that Trump obstructed justice, he’s and his panel are also prepared to request documents from more than 60 people connected to the president and his administration “to begin investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power.
