House Judiciary Cmte. Chairman Nadler: It falls to Congress to hold the president accountable, because US Justice Dept. policy prevented Mueller from bringing charges against a sitting president.
WASHINGTON — Congressional Democrats on Wednesday pounced on special counsel Robert Mueller’s first public statement regarding the Russia investigation, with a top House committee chair saying it now"falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump."
"Although Department of Justice policy prevented the Special Counsel from bringing criminal charges against the President, the Special Counsel has clearly demonstrated that President Trump is lying about the Special Counsel’s findings, lying about the testimony of key witnesses in the Special Counsel’s report, and is lying in saying that the Special Counsel found no obstruction and no collusion,” Nadler said.
Schumer and Nadler both stopped short of calling for an impeachment inquiry — which Nadler's committee has the power to initiate, and a number of his Democratic colleagues are now demanding.
