Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, added during an interview on ABC's "This Week" that it is "too early to make those judgments."

"It’s really too early to make those judgments. We need to see the report and then we’ll all have a factual basis. … In the absence of those facts, those judgments are impossible to make," he said.

Mueller, who was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, on Friday submitted a confidential report to Attorney General William Barr Bill BarrProsecutor says no charges in Michigan toilet voting display Judge rules Snowden to give up millions from book, speeches The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by Facebook - Washington on edge amid SCOTUS vacancy MORE, marking the end of his two-year probe. The report, which is not yet public, does not recommend additional indictments in the case.

Schiff told the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday that, barring a "bombshell" in the report, impeaching Trump should be off the table.

On Sunday, "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos noted that Mueller will not be recommending any future indictments and asked Schiff whether "no new indictments qualify as no bombshell."

"Not necessarily," Schiff responded, noting that it is Department of Justice policy not to indict a sitting president.

"And therefore there could be overwhelming evidence on the obstruction issue. And I don’t know that that’s the case. But if there were overwhelming evidence of criminality on the president’s part, then the Congress would need to consider that remedy if indictment is foreclosed," he added.

NEW: Rep. Adam Schiff says "it's too early" to tell if Congress will no longer consider impeachment.

Schiff also maintained that there is “significant evidence of collusion” between Trump and Russia regardless of Mueller's conclusions.

“There's a difference between compelling evidence of collusion and whether the special counsel concludes that he can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the criminal charge of conspiracy,” Schiff said on ABC.
