Jayapal, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told CNN’s Dana Bash on "State of the Union" that she had previously supported articles of impeachment against Trump because “Republicans refused to even allow us to have a discussion about the things that were out there.”

“Now that we’re in charge, we now have a responsibility to conduct the investigations and that’s what we’re doing,” she said. “I think people want to go to the end of the debate and I want to start at the beginning, something we were never allowed to do under Republican rule.”

Jayapal noted ongoing House investigations and requests for documents since Democrats took control of the chamber in January, including the Judiciary Committee’s request for documents from 81 individuals and organizations.

Jayapal added that any speculation about the final findings of special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE’s just-concluded report was premature.

“To say there’s no collusion when we haven’t seen the report… I think is disingenuous,” she said. “We need to look at everything, not just the summary conclusions but everything underneath. Certainly there is precedent, thanks to the Republicans, of releasing even classified information.”

Attorney General William Barr is expected to send Mueller's conclusions to top lawmakers on Capitol Hill as early as Sunday.
