Steny Hoyer tamps down impeachment talk after Mueller report: ‘Not worthwhile at this point’

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., pushed back on impeachment talk after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report Thursday.
“Based on what we've seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point,†Hoyer told CNN. “Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months, and the American people will make a judgment.â€
Hoyer’s comments stand in contrast to those of some of his Democratic colleagues in Congress, who had called for President Trump’s impeachment even before the release Thursday of a redacted version of Mueller’s report into Russian influence in the 2016 elections. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Thursday that Mueller’s report was made “with the intent of providing Congress a roadmap†to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice.
