At least 95 Democrats in the
435-member U.S. House of Representatives have backed the impeachment
proceedings against President Donald Trump.
Reuters reports that more
lawmakers joined the move after congressional testimony by former U.S. Special
Counsel Robert Mueller.
Mueller investigated Trump over
alleged collusion with the Russians in the 2016 presidential election.
More than 40 percentage of the
235 Democrats in the House now in support of the impeachment probe, including
representatives from 30 states.
At a press conference on Friday,
Judiciary Chairman, Jerrold Nadler, when asked if the panel’s ongoing probe is
the same as an impeachment inquiry, he replied “in effect”.
Maryland representative, Jamie
Raskin, said: “From my personal stand point, I would say we’re in an
impeachment investigation”.
Also speaking, Representative,
Eric Swalwell, recalled that the House efforts to impeach former Presidents,
Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton took different forms.
“This is an impeachment
investigation,’’ the California Democrat added.
