Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said he believes special counsel Robert Mueller’s report contains information that could be grounds for impeachment against President Donald Trump “if proven.”

“If proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes,” Nadler told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable. ... We’re going to see where the facts lead us.” Asked earlier if his committee had opened an impeachment inquiry, Nadler told host Chuck Todd that he didn’t think so. “We may get to that. We may not,” Nadler said. “As I’ve said before, it is our job to go through all the evidence, all the information we can get.” more
