A former adviser to Trump's 2016 campaign said last week that Mueller's findings could provide the House of Representatives with a "road map" for the dismissal of the president.

"I can not imagine that the special advocate will not publish something that shows the House a road map for investigating a conspiracy and responding to it as a political issue," said Sam Nunberg, Conservative political consultant, during an interview with MSNBC.
