Rep. is asking colleagues to support a resolution to investigate for crimes worthy of impeachment following the release of a summary of the special counsel's investigation.
In a letter to House Democrats sent Monday, Tlaib called on lawmakers to support the formation of a commission that would "Inquire whether President Trump committed impeachable offenses" surrounding his businesses while in office and other alleged improper behavior.
ADVERTISEMENT. "I, firmly, believe that the House Committee on Judiciary should seek out whether President Trump has committed 'High crimes and Misdemeanors' as designated by the U.S. Constitution and if the facts support those findings, that Congress begin impeachment proceedings," Tlaib wrote.
Beyond Trump's ownership of businesses while in the White House, the resolution also calls on the House to investigate the president for obstruction of justice over his firing of former FBI Director as well as hush payments through to Stormy Daniels and other women who alleged past affairs.
Attorney General William Barr's summary of 's findings said investigators declined to take a position on whether or not the president obstructed justice and found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016.
The findings do NOT negate the President's bigotry," Green tweeted Sunday evening.
"As long as bigotry influences the President's policies, I will continue to seek his impeachment."
