House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Friday defended Democrats' impeachment efforts against President Trump, despite mixed messages from lawmakers describing what his panel is doing on the issue.
In an appearance on CNN, primetime host Chris Cuomo asked Nadler: “If a head of a committee such as yours believes what you obviously believe, your duty in the Constitution is to start investigating to see if you have the facts for grounds for impeachment, and it is called an 'impeachment inquiry.'
