In a meeting last week in House Speaker Nancy Pelosis office, Democratic lawmakers gathered to craft a plan including specific legislative fixes to respond to the Mueller report, NBC News reports.
Pelosi is hoping hearings around legislative fixes will highlight the worst wrongdoing contained in the Mueller report, and possibly broaden public support for impeachment.
One likely piece of legislation would be framed as Duty to Report, requiring presidential campaign aides and entities to report foreign contacts and influence to law enforcement
Also at the top of the menu is a package of legislation to address election security and obstruction of justice by a sitting president, potentially specifically prohibiting a president from interfering in law enforcement activity.
