Summary

In the aftermath of the release of the Mueller Report, "The Investigation" sits down with Congressman Eric Swalwell, member of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and now a 2020 Presidential contender. Swalwell tells "The Investigation" that he hasn't written off impeachment proceedings and says the first step is to call on Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress. "Let's hear his voice." Swalwell also mulls the possibility of a Presidential appearance before a Congressional committee: "I don't think we should take that off the table." Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran also joins for analysis and discussion.

Welcome to The Investigation. I'm Chris Vlasto, senior executive producer here at ABC News.

0:10.4

I'm joined by the two senior members of our investigative team, John Santucci and Matt Moss,

0:15.9

who've been covering Donald Trump since he's got into the race and has continued to do so up until the Mueller report

0:22.1

has gotten released. It's been five days since the Mueller report came out, and there seems to be

0:27.2

a little bit of movement in the Democratic Party that impeachment seemed to be off the table

0:33.2

categorically, but now some of the congressional leaders seem to be moving in a different

0:37.3

direction and calling for possible impeachment.

We have removed Robert Mueller from the art, and we have replaced it with Donald Trump.

1:28.3

Jerry Nadler, who's the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, seemed to open the door.

1:32.9

Let's take a listen. Do you think this is impeachable?

1:39.7

Yeah, I do. I do think that this, if proven, if proven, which hasn't been proven yet, some of this, if proven some of this would be impeachable, yes.

1:51.0
