Top House Democrats said Sunday they will decide soon whether to pursue impeachment against President Donald Trump, while Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani argued that it would have been okay for the president to have accepted Russia's help during the 2016 election."Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, adding that he wants to see where the facts lead.
Giuliani, meanwhile, said there would not have been anything necessarily wrong with the president and campaign aides taking information from the Russians about Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. Giuliani also said Trump would have been within his rights to have Mueller fired, a key event behind claims that Trump tried to obstruct justice.
“There's nothing wrong with taking information from Russians," Giuliani said on CNN's State of the Union. "It depends on where it came from.”
Trump aides and Democratic leaders took to the Sunday interview shows to debate the Mueller report, which said that there was no evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russians who sought to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
