Pelosi pumped her fist in the air as McCarthy quoted her.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives as lawmakers take up a resolution to transmit impeachment articles against President Donald Trump to the U.S. Senate, in Washington, Jan. 15, 2020.
"It's on the impeachment hoax," Trump said of the resolution."It's not going to matter 'cause it's going very well, but I'd rather have you voting than sitting here listening to me introduce you. They have a hoax going on over there, let's take care of it." The measure also authorizes"sending for persons and papers, and filing with the Secretary of the Senate, on the part of the House of Representatives, any pleadings, in conjunction with or subsequent to, the exhibition of the articles of impeachment that the managers consider necessary."
"Time has been our friend in all this," she added, noting what she called the new"incriminating" evidence that has surfaced in the month since the House impeachment vote on Dec. 18, including new documents from Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal lawyer., revealed by the House just Tuesday night, must be considered by the Senate.
Other managers Pelosi named were Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Val Demings of Florida, House Administration Committee Chair Zoe Lofgren of California, Sylvia Garcia of Texas and Jason Crow of Colorado. When asked about the delay in transferring the articles, Schiff said the extra time helped Democrats make the case for a trial in the Senate after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell initially said he would support efforts to dismiss the case.
There have been 20 presidential impeachment managers in American history; all of them have been white men.
