Saying most lawmakers have not read it, Amash cited Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report on Russian meddling in Trump's favour in the 2016 U.S. election. On Twitter on Saturday, Amash said the report showed Trump had obstructed justice and added, "President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct." A frequent Trump critic, Amash is a part of the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative faction. IMPEACHMENT PROCESSNo U.S. president has ever been removed from office as a direct result of the U.S. Constitution's impeachment process. Amash also said on Twitter that Attorney General William Barr, a Trump appointee, "deliberately misrepresented" Mueller's report when he oversaw the roll-out of a redacted version.
