Resolution is considered as read and open for amendment at any point. I would begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement. The resolution before us represents the necessary next step in our investigation of corruption, obstruction, and abuse of power. This committee has already covered the central findings of the special counsels investigation. The president s 2016 Campaign Asks for and received the assistance of the russian government. Key figures from the campaign then lied to federal investigators about it. The special counsel found that at least ten times the president took steps to interfere with the investigation. In at least five of those incidents, the special counsel concluded that all of the elements necessary to charge obstruction of justice had been met. Our investigation is not only about obstruction.

Im breaking down what to expect all weekend long still ahead robin alright checking in on one oh one for along the peninsula. We have a lot of heavy traffic.

A lot of eyes are on georgia. We have live pictures from the courthouse. The grand jury is going over evidence about this long running 2020 investigation, including allegations that involve donald trump. Now we are going to follow the evidence of the facts and not get ahead of anything. Theres no reason to get ahead of it. It is the news, not prediction.
