Fishing: House Democrats Impeachment Lawyer Suggests Probe May Extend Beyond Ukraine
Edwin Mora 18 Oct 2019
House Democrats may extend the impeachment inquiry beyond U.S. President Donald Trump’s Ukraine-related activities, the general counsel behind the investigation recently indicated.
Democrats can impeach Trump even if his Ukraine-related actions are not criminal, Douglas Letter, the lawyer, argued before a federal judge last week.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) handpicked Letter in January to serve as the general counsel for the Democrat-led House of Representatives.
Since then, he has been at the center of strategizing the House Democrats’ impeachment fight against the president, CNN reported Thursday.
Letter does not talk to the press. CNN, however, quoted him as telling a federal judge last week that the impeachment probe may extend beyond Ukraine.
“I can’t emphasize enough: It’s not just Ukraine. If it’s criminal, but even if it’s not — President Trump can clearly be impeached if he was obstructing justice,†the lawyer reportedly said.
