Developments in the Robert Mueller probe – which hit a milestone Wednesday with the sentencing of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen – have congressional Democrats openly revisiting the possibility of impeachment or even future prosecution of the president. The impeachment debate has focused on an evolving set of alleged or suspected offenses since the appointment of Special Counsel Mueller. First, there was the suspicion of collusion between Russia and Trump campaign associates. Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in connection with those payments, among numerous counts for which he was sentenced Wednesday. At the same time, Democrats are looking at easing the path to potentially prosecute Trump in the future.
