A list of the fast-growing number of Democrats calling for Trump impeachment probe
Two-thirds of House Democrats now back opening impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, according to an ABC News analysis.
At least 210 House Democrats have announced support for an impeachment inquiry since the recent whistleblower complaint about Trump's phone call with the Ukranian president and reports he pressured him to investigate Vice President Joe Biden, something Trump denies although he's said they discussed it. They include several prominent committee chairs and freshman Democrats from formerly GOP-held congressional districts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was trying to shield from impeachment pressure if it would make them vulnerable when facing reelection.

"I deeply respect the committee work of House Democrats to hold the President accountable, including hearings, subpoenas and lawsuits. All of our efforts to put the facts before the American people, however, have been met with unprecedented stonewalling and obstruction. That is why I believe we need to open an impeachment inquiry that will provide us a more formal, focused way to fully uncover the facts," Clark released in a statement.

"The President abused the power of his office in an effort to stymie a legitimate investigation into his campaign’s involvement with Russia. Mr. Mueller chose to follow Justice Department guidance that a sitting President can’t be indicted. The Constitution empowers Congress with checks and balances to address high crimes and misdemeanors by a sitting President," Engel said in a statement. "The American people want, and deserve, the truth. Mr. Mueller’s testimony provided ample evidence that the President committed obstruction of justice, and I believe the House must pursue a formal impeachment inquiry."
"Questions about the abuses and corruption of this Administration require Congress to press ahead with its investigation and follow the facts where they lead us. As Chairman of one of the six House committees looking into possible acts of wrongdoing in the executive branch, I’ve pushed to get answers about Trump’s cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin, unconstitutional emoluments the President has received, and the President’s deep conflicts of interest around the world," Engel added. "The President’s repeated abuses have brought American democracy to a perilous crossroads. Following the guidance of the Constitution - which I have sworn to uphold - is the only way to achieve justice."

Outside of Democratic House members, Justin Amash, I-Mich., has also called for impeach inquiry. Amash announced he was quitting the the Republican party in July because he had become "disenchanged" with party politics and was "frightened" by what he saw from it in recent years.
