Wednesday that “if the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court.” The tweet seemed more emotional than tactical, since justices do not have authority under the Constitution to supersede Congress if it impeaches a president.
In addition to probing the findings of Mueller’s report and demanding an unredacted version of it, House Democrats are seeking Trump’s taxes, information on his business dealings, and testimony about the process for granting security clearances to officials including Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior advisor, over the objections of career staff.
Trump’s latest comments were prompted by questions over whether he would fight a congressional subpoena issued to Don McGahn, his former White House counsel who served as a star witness for Mueller. According to Mueller’s report, McGahn resisted Trump’s pressure to fire the special counsel and subsequently to falsely deny he was asked to do so. At one point McGahn complained that the president wanted him to do “crazy shit,” the report said.
Though Trump argued during the inquiry that any investigation into his finances would constitute a red line, he said on Wednesday that he assumed Mueller had looked at all of his tax and financial documents. And though he was the first president in decades who has not released his tax returns, he misleadingly claimed that his financial documents have been widely seen by the public.
In another inquiry, Atty. Gen. William Barr is blocking a top official at the Justice Department from testifying about the administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, in response to a subpoena that all the Democrats and one Republican on the Oversight Committee approved.
Cummings has said the White House has refused to “produce a single piece of paper or a single witness in any of the committee's investigations this entire year.”
If you’re innocent you don’t have anything to worry about 😊

Will probably go all the way to the end of his second term.
They should be working to improve the quality of life for Americans, instead harassing the president non stop since he took office.
'Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.’ President Trump after Mueller was appointed Special Counsel.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! TRUMP 2020!
Contempt of court. Lock him up
Making America 3rd rate - the rule of law is being replaced by the rule of Trump - which sadly is ok with the GOP and 35% of us. Can we survive Trump ?
I hope to see the day that DonaldTrump is prosecuted for all of his crimes.
It could, but it won't. Some Republicans getting fed up...
He needs to be told that he works for us.
Good luck
✌
Remember when Trump said he won the midterms? Good times.
