House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday she will take steps next week to send articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate after failing so far to secure any concessions on the trial procedure from Republicans.
Pelosi — who said Thursday that the articles would probably be transmitted soon — reportedly has said she believes the delay has put pressure on the Senate to provide a more thorough trial. “The American people have clearly expressed their view that we should have a fair trial with witnesses and documents, with more than 70% of the public stating that the president should allow his top aides to testify,” the California Democrat added.And see: Trump hasn’t been impeached yet, one scholar argues — others say he’s wrong
