BREAKING: Pelosi to send impeachment articles to Senate after weeks-long delay
Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she will transmit the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump next week, ending a heated standoff with Senate Republicans over the terms of the impeachment trial.
"I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate," Pelosi said in a letter to House Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — having already secured GOP votes for his preferred trial framework — could start the impeachment trial shortly after he receives the articles.
Pelosi and Senate Democrats had sought to pressure Republicans into accepting new witnesses and evidence in a bid to ensure a fair trial, but they were rebuffed by McConnell.
