The House Speaker said Congress should conduct an investigation into the president that is 'free from passion.'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that Democrats shouldn’t impeach President Trump “for a political reason.”
Pelosi said she held a conference call Monday with 177 Democratic House members and listened to comments regarding Mueller's report, which was released last week. Many Democrats have concluded that the report's description of President Trump’s efforts to thwart the special counsel's investigation constitute potential grounds for impeachment.
“What’s surprising about it,” she continued, “is the Republicans seem to have an unlimited appetite for this kind of behavior, and instead of being ashamed of what that report said they gave their blessing once again to the president.” “The investigations that our committees will conduct will take us down a fact-finding path and anybody should welcome that,” she continued. “What is interesting about it all is that we now see the administration engaged in stonewalling of the facts coming to the American people.”
