Washington, December 25 (RHC)-- A U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee lawyer has raised the possibility of additional articles of impeachment against President Trump if the House uncovers new evidence that Trump attempted to obstruct investigations of his actions.  

The possibility was raised in a court filing amid a legal battle over whether the Democrats can force former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify.  McGahn was special counsel Robert Mueller’s central witness, and his testimony could relate to whether Trump tried to obstruct the Mueller investigation. 

The House has already impeached Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden.

This is not the first time some Democratic lawmakers have raised the prospect of additional articles — among them, Democratic Texas Congressmember Al Green, who in 2017 was the first congressioanl representative to call for Donald Trump’s impeachment from the floor of the House of Representatives.
