GOP Rep. Doug Collins charges that the sweeping Trump probe opened this week by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is unconstitutional and an abuse of congressional power
GOP Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia wrote in a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, that the new investigation was"an abuse" of Congress' oversight power, since it was not a formal impeachment inquiry and unrelated to writing legislation."Such an investigation serves only one of two possible purposes: either you intend to impeach the president, for alleged crimes that have yet to be discovered, or you intend to embarrass him," Collins wrote.
"Nadler said on ABC News'"This Week" on Sunday that the President "very clearly" obstructed justice -- the charge in articles of impeachment during the Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton presidencies -- but that he would not open an impeachment inquiry at this time.The House Judiciary Committee would be tasked with leading an impeachment proceeding if Democrats choose to pursue it.
