16:20Now PlayingPelosi Won’t Pass Impeachment to the Senate Until It Sets Trial Rules
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there’s precedent for her decision to delay announcing her list of House impeachment managers until the Senate decides the trial process it will use.
“The next thing for us will be when we see the process set forth in the Senate,“ Pelosi said. “Then we will know the number of managers that we have to send forward“ and who they will be.
She cited the negotiations surrounding President Bill Clinton‘s impeachment trial, when she said the Senate first adopted a bipartisan trial plan.
“When we see what we have, we will know who and how many we will send over,” she said, referring to the trial managers.
Trump tweeted while Pelosi was speaking, saying, “Pelosi feels her phony impeachment HOAX is so pathetic she is afraid to present it to the Senate, which can set a date and put this whole SCAM into default if they refuse to show up!”
Pelosi said she has “a spring in my step” because of the House’s moral courage in voting for impeachment.
Responding to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s comments slamming the impeachment, Pelosi said the nation’s founders expected the nation might one day have a “rogue president.”
“I don’t think they expected that we’d have a rogue president and a rogue leader of the Senate at the same time,” she said.
