Pelosi clashes with fellow Democrats on impeachment question
Politico reports House Democratic leaders sparred internally on Monday over whether to begin an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies rejecting the call to move forward.
Citing multiple sources, Politico reported Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Joe Neguse of Colorado pushed to begin impeachment proceedings during a leadership meeting in Pelosi’s office. But Pelosi and some of her key allies rejected their calls, saying Democrats’ message is being drowned out by the fight over possibly impeaching Trump, Politico said.
McConnell and McCarthy are eager to strike a deal to avoid the prospect of another government shutdown, even if it means giving Democrats an increase in domestic nondefense spending, which most Republicans would otherwise oppose, the Hill says.
