A Republican group is urging GOP members of Congress to take seriously allegations of obstruction of justice made against President Trump in a new ad released Monday.
Republicans for the Rule of Law is airing the ad on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, ahead of the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing with Watergate star witness and former Nixon White House counsel John Deanto discuss the evidence of potential obstruction uncovered by special counsel Robert Mueller.
In the 60-second ad, first shared with The Hill, Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate hearings are shown raising concerns about potential obstruction of justice as committed by then-President Nixon.
“When Nixon was alleged to have obstructed justice, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee took these allegations seriously,” the ad begins.
Mueller never said in his report whether he thought Trump has committed a crime. The group is also linked to George Conway, the husband of White House counsel KellyAnne Conway.
