Good Friday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• Robert S. Mueller III’s long-awaited congressional testimony has inflamed divisions among Democrats over impeaching President Trump, with some senior lawmakers pushing on to begin formal hearings soon, and vulnerable moderates pleading to rest the case.

• Mr. Trump’s answers to Mr. Mueller, submitted in writing and under oath, are receiving new scrutiny after Mr. Mueller agreed in his testimony this week that some of the president’s responses were untruthful. They are becoming additional fodder for the internal impeachment debate among House Democrats.

• Mr. Trump was probably never going to be impeached by the House of Representatives before the 2020 elections, Carl Hulse writes in an analysis. The testimony by Mr. Mueller makes that a near certainty.
