After facing increasing pressure from Senate Republicans, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled that the House would send formal impeachment charges over to the Senate next week
WASHINGTON - The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives will send formal impeachment charges against President Donald Trump to the Senate as early as next week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday, setting the stage for his long-awaited trial.
Democrats are trying to convince a few moderate Republican senators to allow witnesses. One moderate, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, told reporters in her home state that she and a “fairly small group” of her fellow Republican senators are working to ensure witnesses can be called. Pelosi has declined to submit the charges, or articles of impeachment, to the Senate. She was seeking leverage for Democrats to negotiate rules of the trial, which cannot begin until the charges are transmitted.
Trump says he did nothing wrong and has dismissed his impeachment as a partisan bid to undo his 2016 election win. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley accused Pelosi of throwing Congress into “unnecessary chaos,” saying the delay would postpone ratification of the new United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
