A formal opening of the process to consider whether the President has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

BREAKING: House of Representatives just passed the Equality Act! The LGBTQ community has waited nearly 250 years for full equality in our country. Today, we’re one step closer to that goal.

(Thread) Nearly six weeks ago, Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded his investigation into President Trump’s conduct. (1/x) Since then, Attorney General William Barr has refused to release the full report to Congress, even after the issuance of a lawful subpoena. (2/x)
