Pelosi Expected To Announce Formal Trump Impeachment Investigation

Buzz is growing around Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announcing a formal impeachment investigation into Donald Trump this afternoon.

Howard Fineman tweeted:

After Rep. John Lewis took to the House floor to announce his support for an impeachment investigation, the writing was on the wall that Democrats are putting together a coordinated rollout of their investigation. An impeachment investigation does not mean that Trump will be impeached. It does mean that Trump’s game playing with congressional committees just became much more difficult. The impeachment select committee will have more tools at their disposal, and be looked upon more favorably by the courts.

Democrats are sending the message to the White House that 2016 will not be allowed to happen again. There will be no more “Russia if you’re listening” moments.”

The Speaker will only officially say that there will be an announcement later this afternoon, but that announcement is expected to a formal impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump.
