JUST IN: House Democrats are drafting resolution to pressure the Director of National Intelligence to release the whistleblower complaint to Congress. The measure will be on the floor for consideration Wednesday, a senior Democratic aide tells ABC News.
A 24-hour rapid succession of Democrats embracing impeachment has pushed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her caucus to the brink of going forward Tuesday, with at least 160 Democrats -- more than two-thirds of the caucus - now publicly supporting impeaching President Donald Trump.
Democratic sources familiar with Pelosi’s deliberations tell ABC News one option under consideration is forming a select committee to handle impeachment and a potential investigation into the new national security whistleblower complaint over the Trump call. The select committee would be separate from the House Judiciary Committee inquiry into whether Trump committed obstruction if justice.
Pelosi will huddle this afternoon with her leadership team, the chairmen of six committees investigating the president and will hold a special caucus meeting to discuss impeachment. At the United Nations Tuesday, Trump insisted he had done nothing improper and called the new impeachment talk"ridiculous and a"witch hunt."
