Trump Pressured GOP Reps On Biden Impeachment

The New York Times reports:

Over the past several months, Mr. Trump has kept a close watch on House Republicans’ momentum toward impeaching Mr. Biden. Mr. Trump has talked regularly by phone with members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus and other congressional Republicans who pushed for impeachment.

Mr. Trump has encouraged the effort both privately and publicly. Ms. Greene, who has introduced articles of impeachment against Mr. Biden, said she told Mr. Trump that she wanted the impeachment inquiry to be “long and excruciatingly painful for Joe Biden.”

Mr. Trump has also spoken weekly over the past month to Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, the third-ranking House Republican. Ms. Stefanik talked to Mr. Trump again on Tuesday after Mr. McCarthy ordered the impeachment inquiry.
