The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee says he believes it would be an “impeachable offense” if it’s proved that President Donald Trump directed illegal hush-money payments to women during the 2016 campaign.
But Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, who’s expected to chair the panel in January, says it’s unclear whether that alone would justify Congress launching impeachment proceedings.
Nadler tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that Congress, the Justice Department and the special counsel need to get to the bottom of the allegations, including questions about lying about business arrangements with Russians and possible obstruction of justice.
In legal filings Friday, prosecutors for the first time tied Trump to a federal crime, accusing him of directing payments to women who claimed extramarital affairs. He has denied wrongdoing.

Twenty-years ago, the Republicans tried impeaching a president over something related to “bedroom” behavior, and the voters weren’t amused. Just because its grounds for divorce doesn’t make it a “high crime”. The Democrats have promised the public proof that Trump is Putin’s lackey, so maybe they can impeach him for failing to send in troops to assist Ukraine (as the US promised to do).
The Clintons and the Obamas haven’t – only Trump has! Phony Democrats!
Nadler is a moron.
Obama’s campaign paid a $325,000 fine over millions in campaign funding errors.
Trump used HIS OWN MONEY to shut up a stupid stripper.
Nadler supported ARMING IRAN WITH NUKES.
Nadler deserves a cell in Leavenworth.
