House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Sunday that Democrats in Congress are unfairly targeting President Trump in a bid to manufacture grounds for impeachment.
The California Republican, a close Trump ally, told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week†that the Democrats are using congressional oversight as a facade to undermine the president. McCarthy dismissed revelations that emerged from the testimony of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen before a House committee and said the president’s decision to grant son-in-law Jared Kushner a security clearance over internal objections is a nonissue.
“I think Congressman Nadler decided to impeach the president the day the president won the election,†McCarthy said, referring to Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the House Judiciary Committee chairman, alleging that Trump obstructed justice.
“In this process to be impeached, show me where the president did anything to be impeached,†McCarthy added. “The other thing you have to find is, listen to what Nadler said. Nadler is setting the framework now that the Democrats are not to believe the Mueller report. They’re now saying we have to do our own investigation."
