U.S. House panel launches probe into possible obstruction by TrumpU.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) annual meeting at National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, U.S., March 2, 2019. “We are going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into corruption ... and into obstruction of justice,” Nadler said. “It’s our job to protect the rule of law.” “It’s very clear that the president obstructed justice,” Nadler said. The White House and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment on Nadler’s remarks. Testimony by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen last week directly implicated Trump in various crimes including campaign finance violations, Nadler said.
