ZitatSen. Pat Murray (D-Wash.), the number three Senate Democrat, called for House Democrats to begin impeachment inquiries on Sunday.
"I agree with my fellow members of the Washington delegation that, as we have learned about the gravity of the potential threats to our democracy identified in special counsel Mueller's report, it has become clear that the House should begin proceedings to determine whether the president's action necessitate impeachment," Murray said in a statement shared by NBC News reporter Frank Thorp on Twitter.
Murray's office did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment Sunday afternoon.
