"Special counsel Mueller provided evidence that would determine if impeachment proceedings should take place. The full special counsel report without redaction should be released to Congress for review to determine if evidence is sufficient to impeach Trump. Congress has the constitutional authority of oversight and must be given the full report."

The Florida mayor also characterized the report's descriptions of interactions between Russia and the Trump campaign as "alarming and damning."

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro (D) followed soon after, telling CNN's Anderson Cooper on Friday that it would be “perfectly reasonable” for Congress to open impeachment proceedings.

“It’s clear that Bob Mueller in his report left that in the hands of Congress,” he added.

The release of Mueller's report prompted other Democrats to ramp up talk of impeachment. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) last week said she would sign on to a resolution calling for an investigation into whether Trump should be impeached.

Mueller's report determined that there was insufficient evidence to prove coordination between Trump's 2016 campaign and the Kremlin.
