LIVE VIDEO: Pelosi Makes Impeachment Announcement

The Associated Press reports:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to make an unusual public statement at 9 a.m. EST Thursday in regards to the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. It comes after Pelosi asked Democratic members behind closed doors on Wednesday if they were ready to take the next step, and reportedly received a resounding yes.

Thursday’s announcement comes one day after the House Judiciary Committee held its first impeachment hearing. Three leading legal scholars testified that Trump’s attempts to have Ukraine investigate Democratic rivals are grounds for impeachment. But a fourth expert called by Republicans warned against rushing the process.
