NEW: House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler says 'articles of impeachment are under consideration' for Trump


Nadler this AM: “With regard to the Committee’s responsibility to determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the President, articles of impeachment are under consideration as part of the Committee’s investigation, although no final determination has been made”


VP saw 384 men sleeping inside fences, on concrete w/no pillows or mats. They said they hadn’t showered in weeks, wanted toothbrushes, food. Stench was overwhelming. CBP said they were fed regularly, could brush daily & recently got access to shower (many hadn’t for 10-20 days.)


15 more women accuse Epstein in the last 48 hrs.


Both @RepKathleenRice & I are former prosecutors. The allegations set forth in the media reports are deeply disturbing. We are requesting @FBI to investigate whether the CEO of Phantom @Fireworks or any other executives of the company bribed or attempted to bribe @POTUS.
