NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 26, 2018: President Donald Trump gestures to emphasize an issue as he delivers a speech at the Lotte Palace Hotel in the Villard Room (Shutterstock).

President Donald Trump continued to insist he committed no crimes, and therefore could not be impeached.

Trump tweeted Monday morning that Democrats had committed unspecified crimes, and vowed to turn the tables on his political enemies after special counsel Robert Mueller turned in his report, which the Department of Justice finally released last week

"Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment," Trump tweeted. "There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you can’t impeach. It was the Democrats that committed the crimes, not your Republican President! Tables are finally turning on the Witch Hunt!"

For weeks it’s been said by political analysts that Donald Trump might evade charges related to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection attempt, but a prominent legal expert on Wednesday cast doubt on that assumption.

Former President Donald Trump could be on the brink of an indictment for obstruction of justice and removal of classified information in the Mar-a-Lago documents probe, according to new reporting.

But until a few weeks ago, noted CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Situation Room," the Trump team actually thought they were home free on this case — because they expected the concurrent investigations of classified documents inadvertently removed and returned by President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence would muddy the waters, even though those cases had significantly different facts.

Trump appears to be spreading false indictment rumors to incite chaos: ex-Garland aide

A legal affairs expert who previously served as an aide to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday suggested that Donald Trump could be behind reports surfacing this week that an indictment against the former president is imminent.

Anthony Coley, who headed Justice Department’s Office of Public Affairs under Garland, in a “public service announcement,” suggested that the former president in the past has found that spreading misinformation has served his interests. Coley cited previous reports that turned out to be erroneous in his call for calm.
