Pelosi Announces Formal Impeachment Inquiry

September 24, 2019 4:14 am

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Speaker Pelosi announced Tuesday that the House is moving forward with official impeachment inquiry, saying “no one is above the law.”  Pelosi says she made the announcement after meeting with House chairmen and members of the Democratic caucus.  The announcement comes as more than a dozen Democrats, many of them moderates, have endorsed impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.  Democrats have  questioned whether Trump improperly used his office to pressure the Ukrainian president to investigate political rival Joe Biden’s family. The administration is withholding a whistleblower  complaint at least partly related to that matter from Congress.
