"We have very good reason to believe that there is an investigation that has been conducted which has produced evidence that tells us that this president and his administration engaged in obstruction of justice. I believe Congress should take the steps toward impeachment," Harris said at a CNN town hall in New Hampshire.

“I believe Congress should take the steps towards impeachment.”

Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election concluded that the Trump campaign did not conspire or coordinate with Russia, but the special counsel did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.

Warren, at her own CNN town hall on Monday, defended her call for impeachment, casting the matter as one of civic responsibility rather than political strategy.

But Democrats on Capitol Hill and other 2020 Democratic candidates are divided on whether to proceed on impeachment, with many voicing concerns about the political ramifications of such a move.

Pelosi emphasized the need for Democrats to focus on their oversight efforts before jumping to impeachment.

“We don't have to go to articles of impeachment to obtain the facts, the presentation of facts,” she said, according to a person on the call.

Maxine Waters House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman(D-Calif.) stood out on among the six committee leaders on the call, saying she is still in favor of impeachment as her panel continues its investigations.

Any move on impeachment would almost certainly hit a dead end in the Republican-controlled Senate.
