WASHINGTON - The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee voted to intensify its investigation of Republican President Donald Trump on Thursday, as lawmakers edged closer to deciding whether to recommend his impeachment.
A more aggressive probe could also increase pressure on House Democratic leaders including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has resisted impeachment of Trump as a politically risky step for moderate Democratic freshmen from swing districts where ousting the president is an unpopular idea. Republicans said Democrats lacked the votes to obtain formal House authorization and denounced Thursday’s action as a show intended to pander to Democratic voters who want Trump removed from office.
“These rules are not new,” he said. “This is to make you believe something is happening, more than what’s actually happening.” Democrats expect his testimony to help lay out a charge of obstruction of justice. But they are also pursuing allegations of campaign finance violations, witness tampering and unlawful self-enrichment through his business ventures.

TV RepJerryNadler This is what we pay this individuals to do peddle there own self serving political agendas. It's ridiculous and shameful. They should be impeached. They need to be reminded they serve to better the lives of the United States citizens. Do your job.
TV Thank you! Make everything you find public! Document it! Lets start figuring ways that will ensure that trump & his doings never happen again. Otherwise, we don't have a democracy. We have a dictatorship. There never was 3 equal branches of gov. Just presidents with integrity.
TV The Demonrats have zero on Trump. They only want to obstruct. They’re haters and are acting like a tribe or mob!
TV He hasn't committed a crime, so they can't impeach him. It's sad they only make themselves look bad. They don't work for Americans. They are trying to control America. Trump has done more in 2 years than his predecessor and Congress have done in the last ten years.
TV And yet SpeakerPelosi says they aren't holding impeachment investigations. Lol so either SpeakerPelosi is a liar or the house panel is acting without her approval. Either way it seems aweful fishy to me.
TV ✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿✊️
TV Why don't they just get on with it, you might ask. Well, because they have nothing, they're just trying to drag out the allegations until the 2020 election. It's pathetic really.
