Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced on Friday they will begin a formal "impeachment investigation" against President Donald Trump due to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony. Chairman Jerry Nadler said the Democrats will ask for grand jury information related to Mueller's investigation. From Fox News:
Nadler called the grand jury materials “critically important” for their investigation. In the petition, Democrats on the committee noted that because Justice Department policies do not allow the prosecution of a sitting president, the House of Representatives is “the only institution of the federal government” that can hold Trump accountable.

2020 Democratic presidential hopeful former Vice President Joe Biden has come out swinging a week before the second debate. Biden's numbers suffered a bit after the first debate, especially after Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) brought up his history working with segregationalists. That will not happen the next time around as he vows to "hit back" against any attacks. It also helps that he will go into this debate with just as strong poll numbers as the first debate.

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday on his report over Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller came across as dull with body language that showed he wanted to be somewhere else other than in front of Congress. He also told the representatives over 100 times to refer to his report or could not answer a question. Mueller did not give the left what they wanted, which has turned them against him.

Giving Mr. Mueller little chance to response, Mr. Ratcliffe said it was inappropriate for a prosecutor to try to exonerate someone. Pressing further, Mr. Ratcliffe asked Mr. Mueller if he could name another instance of the Justice Department stating that someone was not exonerated other than Mr. Trump "I cannot," Mr. Mueller said.

The House of Representatives passed the Raise the wage Act, 231-199, that would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 from $7.25. The bill states it has to happen by 2025. While the left celebrates the news, the bill may never see the light of day in the Republican-controlled Senate.
