Speaker Nancy Pelosi vehemently defended her recently launched inquiry against President Trump, framing it in sweeping moral and ethical terms as she described the U.S. Constitution as “hanging by a thread” in an interview with the Atlanta Journal. Constitution.
Said Pelosi: “Nobody came to Congress to impeach a president, but we do take an oath to protect and defend our Constitution and to protect our Republic if we need it.”
