It would be 'unprecedented' to use impeachment inquiry as a 'fact-finding mission,' ABC chief legal analyst Dan Abrams says.
As House Democrats continue to debate over impeachment inquiries, ABC News Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams weighed in on the potential fallout of making the political move.
As subpoena battles continue in the courts, Abrams explained that an inquiry would simply force President Donald Trump's hand and give Congress a legislative purpose for seeking further information. "It would be unprecedented to sort of dip your toe in the way Congress is talking about doing it here," Abrams said, adding that, historically, Congress has not considered impeachment a"fact-finding mission."
Abrams said on Wednesday that Barr's summary of the Mueller report and his conclusions about it showed his support for Trump more than the power of the office he holds.While an impeachment inquiry would be unusual and unprecedented, Abrams noted that this isn't the first time we've seen a president in the courtroom. In particular, Abrams and Klein discussed President Teddy Roosevelt's five-week legal battle in the early 20th century.
