The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday that he was not worried at all about impeachment, less than a week after a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report was made public and as talk of trying to remove him from office has been increasing among Democrats in Congress.
Since the release of Mueller's findings, Democrats have been conflicted on what the next steps should be.Some, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a 2020 presidential candidate, have called for the House to begin impeachment proceedings. But other Democrats have warned of the political risk of trying to remove the president.
Trump also told reporters on Monday that he was not concerned about White House staffers' ignoring his orders, even though the Mueller report details how aides sometimes refused to comply with the president's directions to interfere with the special counsel investigation.
