A group of Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee is privately discussing possible articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, The Washington Post is reporting.
The newspaper attributed the information to a half-dozen lawmakers and congressional aides. The action comes even as House leaders have resisted moving ahead with impeachment plans.
The lawmakers have had informal talks focusing on possible obstruction of justice, abuse of power, defiance of subpoenas, and violations of campaign finance laws, according to the Post. And they believe they have identified five areas of potential obstruction in former special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
But others maintain the articles may never be drafted due to the reluctance of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to move forward and the unlikely chance the Senate would ever convict the president.
"The committee's work on its investigation is ongoing, but there have been no decisions made," said Daniel Schwarz, a spokesman for the panel. "Any suggestion that such articles have already been drafted or that the committee's work is already concluded is categorically false."
But committee member Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said Trump "has trampled the Constitution."
"There is just so much you could go after," he said. "It's going to be refining it down to the most salient."
Meanwhile, the Judiciary Committee is scheduled to adopt procedures on Thursday that will enable it to recommend articles "more effectively," said panel chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.
