Speaker Pelosi tells Democrats she's not ready to send articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate — but suggests she could be soon.
McConnell has said he plans to use the same process that was laid out in Bill Clinton's impeachment — allow the House to lay out the charges, the White House to lay out its defense, and then have both sides answer senators' questions. When the questions have concluded, senators can then vote on whether they should dismiss the case or hear testimony from witnesses.
House Democratic leadership met Tuesday as members returned to the Capitol. While most Democratic lawmakers were mum on Pelosi's next moves, many said they support her stance with the Senate and would not question her tactics. "I'm not going to second guess her. So far she's been pretty, pretty damn good," Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said.
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said he was confident Pelosi would send the articles over to the Senate at some point adding Pelosi will"figure it out" with McConnell because"that's the game that she brings, she'll figure out."Dareh Gregorian
