WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today she knows exactly when shell be transmitting the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, brushing back Democratic comments that the time has come to start the Senate trial.
Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol she had no concerns about the anxiety some House and Senate Democrats are showing over the standoff with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about the terms of the delayed trial. Its now more than three weeks since the House impeached Trump on charges of abuse and obstruction.
Same thing Ive said before, Pelosi told The Associated Press as she entered the Capitol. Wed like to see how were going to proceed, and then well know who to send. I have an obligation to my members, especially those on the committees, to do justice to their work.
