House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted the firing of attorney general Jeff Sessions, and called it a 'blatant move' to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller.
The newly empowered House Democrats brandished their new oversight power and hinted at an investigation, even as Democrats were powerless to stop the president from initiating what they warned was a 'constitutional crisis.'
Trump had already gotten a green light from Republican senators who had backed off from their warnings that Trump dare not move against Sessions or seek to squelch Mueller.
'It is impossible to read Attorney General Sessions’ firing as anything other than another blatant attempt by @RealDonaldTrump to undermine & end Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation,' Pelosi tweeted.
