His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

But since then, her campaign was marred by infighting and muddled messaging on key issues such as health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Melanie Mason, political reporter, L.A.

In January, she became speaker a second time after Democrats flipped control of the House and sent a record number of women to Congress. In recent weeks, Pelosi has championed House Democrats’ impeachment investigation of President Trump, and weathered personal attacks by the president and his allies while making a case for impeachment to a skeptical public. A new book by her daughter, Christine Pelosi, describes the political and negotiating skills that have made Speaker Pelosi such a formidable leader on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guest:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Christine Pelosi, author, “The Nancy Pelosi Way”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Tis the Season for Venting\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>We’re well into the holiday season, a time of year when we gather with friends and family to enjoy good food and good times.

"content": "\u003cp>How safe is your Uber ride? That question has dogged the company for years, as it has faced complaints from passengers and drivers alleging they have been sexually assaulted in an Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Uber is revealing the scale of those complaints for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 5,981 allegations of serious sexual assault in the U.S. over two years, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/reports/us-safety-report/\">new report covering 2017 and 2018\u003c/a>. The claims range from unwanted touching and kissing to rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.-only report also covers deaths involving Uber rides. During those two years, 107 people died in crashes involving Uber cars, and 19 people were killed in physical assaults during or soon after an Uber ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As troubling as those statistics are, the incidents they capture are rare. People in the U.S. took 2.3 billion rides using Uber in those two years. For 99.9% of those trips, no safety incident was reported, and the serious safety problems detailed in the report were even more uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the scale that Uber operates, we're going to see both the good and the bad that happens in society because we're operating so many trips every single day,\" said Tony West, Uber's chief legal officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the unfortunate but sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize,\" he said. \"That exists in companies, it exists in classrooms, it exists on university campuses and homes. Uber's not immune to that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Data Paint a Mixed, and Limited, Picture\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The report is a window into a long-standing \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782732967/uber-stripped-of-its-license-to-operate-in-london\">problem \u003c/a>for ride-hailing companies — not just Uber, but competitors around the world, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/11/759899409/lyft-facing-flood-of-lawsuits-after-riders-report-they-were-sexually-attacked-by\">Lyft\u003c/a> in the U.S., Didi in China and Ola in India. The apps have come under intense scrutiny for how they screen drivers, handle complaints and remove offenders from their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Uber's report doesn't present a complete picture. When it comes to sexual assaults, Uber includes what it defines as the five most severe categories: nonconsensual kissing of a nonsexual body part, attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration, nonconsensual touching of a sexual body part, nonconsensual kissing of a sexual body part and nonconsensual sexual penetration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include other types of sexual misconduct, like masturbation, asking for sex or verbal threats of assault. Uber worked with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and other advocacy groups to develop the report and address safety issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11789655 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/12042019_Lyft-qut-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report counts car crashes and physical assaults that resulted in a death, but not those that resulted in injuries — likely far larger numbers. The company says it will release updated figures every two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of serious sexual assault incidents per ride went down in every category between 2017 and 2018. For example, the average rate of sexual assault reports across the five categories fell 16% from one year to the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel comfortable that Uber is a very safe mode of transportation. And I think the data in this report actually indicates that as well,\" West said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uber also warned that rates could go up in the years to come if more people are encouraged to report sexual assault. Reporting rates for sexual violence and misconduct are notoriously low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sexual assault numbers in Uber's report cover a wide range of allegations. Some of the claims ended up being investigated by police and criminally prosecuted. In other cases, Uber was unable to reach the person who reported the assault for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims were both riders and drivers. In fact, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/728005817/uber-to-start-banning-passengers-with-low-ratings\">passengers\u003c/a> were accused of sexual assault in nearly half the reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most frequent reports were of unwanted touching of sexual body parts — the mouth, breasts, buttocks or genitals. Uber received 1,440 such reports in 2017 and 1,560 in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 235 reports of nonconsensual sexual penetration — rape — last year and 229 such reports the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 19 deaths from physical assault, Uber did not break down who committed the assaults. Eight victims were riders, seven were Uber drivers and four were third parties, such as people outside the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considers a fatal assault as related to Uber if it involved at least one person using the app — either a rider or driver — or if it involved people paired by the Uber app and took place within 48 hours of the ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is Uber More or Less Safe Than a Taxi?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A question the report does not answer is how Uber's safety record compares with other forms of transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no national statistics for how many sexual assaults or deaths happen in U.S. taxis each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taxis are typically regulated by individual cities, and most police departments do not track whether sexual assaults involve a particular company or type of work, said John Boit, executive vice president of the Transportation Alliance, a trade group that represents taxi and limousine companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rachel Abrams, San Francisco lawyer whose firm represents victims of sexual assault on ride-hailing apps\"]'Having a dashboard camera for these rides would, I think, prevent a substantial portion of the assaults from happening.'[/pullquote]The data that are available are hard to compare directly with Uber's report. San Francisco's transportation regulator tracks complaints about taxis, mainly through the city's 311 hotline. In 2017, for example, San Francisco received 14 reports of violence or physical altercations and four reports of accidents involving injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city does not separate out sexual assault complaints. And without knowing the total number of rides taken in San Francisco taxis in that year, it is impossible to calculate how often such incidents occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the 107 people killed in crashes involving an Uber vehicle in the two years covered by the report, that compares with 74,033 people in total killed in crashes on U.S. roads during that period, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's fatality rate per mile driven was about half the national rate, according to the NHTSA, in each year of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Weighing Safety and Privacy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the past two years, Uber has introduced a number of safety features, including a \"panic button\" in its app that connects passengers and drivers to emergency services, using sensors in drivers' smartphones to detect possible crashes and performing continuous background checks of drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is considering additional safety measures, including recording rides with audio or video and sharing with other ride-hailing companies the names of drivers who have been banned from its app for serious safety violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These newest proposals raise questions about how Uber will balance the safety of passengers and drivers with their rights to privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11777002,news_11773127,news_11738380 label='Related Coverage']Sharing the names of banned drivers could help prevent a driver banned for groping, for example, from simply switching over to driving for rival Lyft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're committed to doing that in a way that's fair and that is compliant with the law,\" West said. \"But we think it is important that if someone is not deemed to be safe on our platform that that information is shared with others.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company already shares this information in Chicago, where local law requires ride-hailing apps to notify city officials when they ban a driver for reasons including complaints of sexual misconduct and physical assault. The city then passes those names on to other ride-hailing companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could flag drivers who behave unsafely or inappropriately, even if their behavior does not violate the law. Allegations may not be corroborated the way they would be in a criminal case, however, and it is unclear how much information another company would require to ban a driver for behavior conducted while using a different app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is also testing audio recording in some cities in Latin America and video recording in Texas. It allows either drivers or passengers to initiate recordings. They can choose to send the file to Uber but cannot access or save it for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many critics have pushed for Uber to require cameras in cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having a dashboard camera for these rides would, I think, prevent a substantial portion of the assaults from happening,\" said Rachel Abrams, a lawyer in San Francisco whose firm represents victims of sexual assault on ride-hailing apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rolling out such recordings more widely will require navigating privacy and notification laws that differ across states and countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is the first ride-hailing company to publicly release its safety data. Lyft has also said it is working on a report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, victims of sexual assault are taking their claims against Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/12/759876637/lawsuits-say-lyft-doesnt-do-enough-to-protect-women-from-predator-drivers\">and Lyft\u003c/a> to court.

That question has dogged the company for years, as it has faced complaints from passengers and drivers alleging they have been sexually assaulted in an Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Uber is revealing the scale of those complaints for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 5,981 allegations of serious sexual assault in the U.S. over two years, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/reports/us-safety-report/\">new report covering 2017 and 2018\u003c/a>. The claims range from unwanted touching and kissing to rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.-only report also covers deaths involving Uber rides. During those two years, 107 people died in crashes involving Uber cars, and 19 people were killed in physical assaults during or soon after an Uber ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As troubling as those statistics are, the incidents they capture are rare. People in the U.S. took 2.3 billion rides using Uber in those two years. For 99.9% of those trips, no safety incident was reported, and the serious safety problems detailed in the report were even more uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the scale that Uber operates, we're going to see both the good and the bad that happens in society because we're operating so many trips every single day,\" said Tony West, Uber's chief legal officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the unfortunate but sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize,\" he said. \"That exists in companies, it exists in classrooms, it exists on university campuses and homes. Uber's not immune to that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The apps have come under intense scrutiny for how they screen drivers, handle complaints and remove offenders from their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Uber's report doesn't present a complete picture. When it comes to sexual assaults, Uber includes what it defines as the five most severe categories: nonconsensual kissing of a nonsexual body part, attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration, nonconsensual touching of a sexual body part, nonconsensual kissing of a sexual body part and nonconsensual sexual penetration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include other types of sexual misconduct, like masturbation, asking for sex or verbal threats of assault. Uber worked with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and other advocacy groups to develop the report and address safety issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The company says it will release updated figures every two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of serious sexual assault incidents per ride went down in every category between 2017 and 2018. For example, the average rate of sexual assault reports across the five categories fell 16% from one year to the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel comfortable that Uber is a very safe mode of transportation. And I think the data in this report actually indicates that as well,\" West said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uber also warned that rates could go up in the years to come if more people are encouraged to report sexual assault. Reporting rates for sexual violence and misconduct are notoriously low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sexual assault numbers in Uber's report cover a wide range of allegations. Some of the claims ended up being investigated by police and criminally prosecuted. In other cases, Uber was unable to reach the person who reported the assault for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims were both riders and drivers.

Uber received 1,440 such reports in 2017 and 1,560 in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 235 reports of nonconsensual sexual penetration — rape — last year and 229 such reports the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 19 deaths from physical assault, Uber did not break down who committed the assaults. Eight victims were riders, seven were Uber drivers and four were third parties, such as people outside the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considers a fatal assault as related to Uber if it involved at least one person using the app — either a rider or driver — or if it involved people paired by the Uber app and took place within 48 hours of the ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is Uber More or Less Safe Than a Taxi?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A question the report does not answer is how Uber's safety record compares with other forms of transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no national statistics for how many sexual assaults or deaths happen in U.S. taxis each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taxis are typically regulated by individual cities, and most police departments do not track whether sexual assaults involve a particular company or type of work, said John Boit, executive vice president of the Transportation Alliance, a trade group that represents taxi and limousine companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That panel heard from constitutional scholars, who gave their assessments of whether President Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to investigate political rivals met the level of impeachable offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have disagreed over the scope of eventual articles of impeachment, whether they should be narrowly drafted to focus on the Ukraine scandal or whether they should be broadened out to include findings of former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible obstruction of that investigation by President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House declined to take part in the House Judiciary hearing, while continuing to complain that Democrats have not provided ample opportunity to defend the president.

During testimony at a hearing in Moon’s criminal case, Blount said he did not use a neck hold on Moon.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/FB3XTRP1kOs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/FB3XTRP1kOs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“And then we played the video evidence for the court,” Schwaiger said. The video, taken by a bystander, showed Blount wrapping his arm around Moon’s neck and throwing her to the ground. “That matter was dismissed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Jamie Thistlethwaite directed prosecutor Scott Uemura to place Blount’s testimony in the DA’s files documenting officers with credibility issues. Prosecutors have a duty to disclose past dishonesty by law enforcement witnesses to defendants under a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brady v. Maryland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Staebell wrote in an email that his office did review the case to determine if Blount should be placed on the DA’s “Brady list,” and asked the sheriff for any evidence of relevant misconduct in his file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were notified there was none,” Staebell wrote. He said he couldn’t disclose whether Blount was ultimately placed on the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789720\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789720\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript-800x243.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript-800x243.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript-160x49.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript-1020x310.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript-1200x365.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/transcript.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portion of a transcript of an April 15, 2015, Sonoma County Superior Court hearing in which Deputy Charles Blount denies using a carotid hold or putting his arms around a defendant's neck.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In 2015, Sonoma County settled a federal lawsuit with a man named Marlon Whitmore, who alleged that deputies, including Blount, used excessive force on him in 2011. Civil rights attorney John Burris, who represented Whitmore in the case, said the settlement was for about $375,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lloyd Beardsley filed a suit in 2016 claiming that he was complying with the officer’s commands when Blount tackled him, punched him in the face and arrested him for public intoxication, fighting and resisting arrest. The fighting charge was dismissed and a jury ultimately found Beardsley not guilty of the other two charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My client felt completely victimized by Blount, when he felt that Blount should have been protecting him,” Beardsley’s civil attorney, Katy Young, wrote in an emailed response. She said the lawsuit settled for a “low monetary amount.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court filings, the attorneys representing the county and Blount disputed the plaintiffs' excessive force claims in both cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blount also used a carotid hold on a severely intoxicated man in 2015, police reports show. The man was initially unconscious, but woke up and became “uncooperative” when deputies tried to handcuff him. Then Blount used the hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said they couldn’t comment on Blount’s past conduct because of the ongoing investigation into Ward’s death by Santa Rosa police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa Lt. Dan Marincik said via email that his department is focused on the criminal investigation of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there is a nexus between the prior patterns of an officer or deputies [sic] behavior and the criminal investigation we are currently conducting, that is something that we would then look into in greater detail,” Marincik wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Pelosi, Nadler and their compatriots are balancing this as they decide what kind of case to make against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should it be narrowly constructed around the facts of the House Ukraine investigation? Or should it be a broader case that reflects more about what Democrats argue has been improper behavior by Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that House Democrats likely cannot remove Trump, the question they must ask themselves is what will do him the most political damage and themselves the least damage, mindful about the election next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Nadler may have answered these questions already for themselves, but the public aspect of that process, at least, is what got underway on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing also marks Nadler’s return to the spotlight after months in center stage for the House Intelligence Committee. Nadler was an early convert and insisted earlier this year that his committee was pursuing an impeachment case even before the imprimatur given by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/02/775749115/house-votes-to-formalize-impeachment-inquiry-against-trump\">the vote of most other Democrats in November.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that earlier phase, Nadler sought to exploit some of the findings of former Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, including those that Democrats have said amount to obstruction of justice by Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler returned to Mueller’s findings on Wednesday in his opening statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee’s majority counsel Norm Eisen asked Gerhardt whether he agreed that Mueller’s findings suggested Trump might have obstructed justice — yes, Gerhardt agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other members of Congress also broached the idea of incorporating Mueller material into a putative impeachment case. A few Democrats appeared intrigued but Republicans — and Turley — also highlighted what they called the legal weakness involved with doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mueller thread also has involved litigation by the House against Trump and the Justice Department involving evidence from Mueller and other matters. Some of those cases are ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discussion on Wednesday may mean the question isn’t settled as to whether Nadler might favor a broad indictment of Trump that takes elements from the Russia investigation — or focusing closely on Schiff’s report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional reporter Claudia Grisales contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Pelosi, Nadler and their compatriots are balancing this as they decide what kind of case to make against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should it be narrowly constructed around the facts of the House Ukraine investigation? Or should it be a broader case that reflects more about what Democrats argue has been improper behavior by Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that House Democrats likely cannot remove Trump, the question they must ask themselves is what will do him the most political damage and themselves the least damage, mindful about the election next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Nadler may have answered these questions already for themselves, but the public aspect of that process, at least, is what got underway on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing also marks Nadler’s return to the spotlight after months in center stage for the House Intelligence Committee. Nadler was an early convert and insisted earlier this year that his committee was pursuing an impeachment case even before the imprimatur given by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/02/775749115/house-votes-to-formalize-impeachment-inquiry-against-trump\">the vote of most other Democrats in November.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that earlier phase, Nadler sought to exploit some of the findings of former Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, including those that Democrats have said amount to obstruction of justice by Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler returned to Mueller’s findings on Wednesday in his opening statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee’s majority counsel Norm Eisen asked Gerhardt whether he agreed that Mueller’s findings suggested Trump might have obstructed justice — yes, Gerhardt agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other members of Congress also broached the idea of incorporating Mueller material into a putative impeachment case. A few Democrats appeared intrigued but Republicans — and Turley — also highlighted what they called the legal weakness involved with doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mueller thread also has involved litigation by the House against Trump and the Justice Department involving evidence from Mueller and other matters. Some of those cases are ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discussion on Wednesday may mean the question isn’t settled as to whether Nadler might favor a broad indictment of Trump that takes elements from the Russia investigation — or focusing closely on Schiff’s report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional reporter Claudia Grisales contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
