Kitty Tells Pelosi That She’s Running Out Of Air Waiting For Impeachment Articles

The Washington Post writes, “Pelosi moves to end Trump impeachment standoff, signals she will send articles to Senate.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved Friday to end a three-week standoff with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, signaling that she will send articles of impeachment to the Republican-controlled Senate next week, paving the way for a likely acquittal of President Trump.

Pelosi (D-Calif.), who made the announcement in a letter to colleagues sent moments after lawmakers left Washington for the week, relented without securing the concessions she sought from McConnell (R-Ky.) — in particular, a detailed blueprint for how the coming Senate trial will proceed.
