Pelosi waiting for Senate on impeachment

(19 Dec 2019) Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is waiting for the Senate to indicate how it will handle the two articles of impeachment passed by the House Wednesday, before she transmits them.

Pelosi threw uncertainty into the impeachment process late Wednesday by refusing to say when she would send two impeachment articles to the Senate for a trial.

She repeated those comments before reporters Thursday morning.

The House charged Trump with abusing his power and obstructing Congress,, accusations stemming from his pressure on Ukraine to announce investigations of his political rival as Trump withheld U.S. aid.

Pelosi said she had been hearing from people all over the country, "with a spring in their steps, because the president was held accountable for his reckless behavior."
