WASHINGTON _ Democrats who back opening an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump are hoping former special counsel Robert Mueller's appearance Wednesday before two House committees gives the effort a pivotal boost.
Despite a House vote last week to reject opening impeachment proceedings _ a vote widely dismissed as having nothing to do with Mueller's findings _ supporters are continuing to move ahead with a serious look at whether a formal inquiry is warranted.
"We continue doing what we're doing in the Judiciary Committee, reviewing evidence, seeking evidence, seeking fact witnesses, going to court to get our subpoenas enforced," Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told McClatchy.
