House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler on Thursday insisted that his committee’s investigation into whether President Trump should be impeached is “formal impeachment proceedings” — which would be an escalation by Democrats in their efforts to impeach the president.

“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler told CNN host Erin Burnett, with emphasis on the word “is.”

“We are investigating all the evidence, gathering the evidence. And we will at the conclusion of this — hopefully by the end of the year — vote to vote articles of impeachment to the House floor. Or we won’t. That’s a decision that we’ll have to make. But that’s exactly the process we’re in right now,” he said.

Nadler announced his committee was launching the investigation days after former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified, prompting some confusion over what his investigation was and what it would do.

He has said the committee will call in witnesses and obtain information to investigate whether the president obstructed justice in the special counsel investigation and should be impeached.
