US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced that she will advance legislation next week that would formally trigger a Senate impeachment trial for President Donald Trump.
The House on December 18 passed two articles of impeachment – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – against the Republican president.
“I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the [House] floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate,” Pelosi said in a statement.
More soon.
