Democrats Won’t Hold Vote on Impeachment Probe

“House Democrats will not hold a vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Trump as of now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday, defying calls from the White House and Republicans to do so,” CNBC reports.

“The decision to hold off on a formal vote comes amid growing pressure from Republican lawmakers and White House officials who have criticized House Democrats’ efforts as an illegitimate attempt to undermine Trump’s presidency.”

“BBut many members of Pelosi’s caucus want to avoid the perception that the White House is dictating how the House, as part of a separate and equal branch of government, conducts itself.”
