Speaker Nancy Pelosi put out a “Dear Colleague” letter outlining House Democrats’ next steps in the impeachment inquiry, including public hearings.
The White House has argued the inquiry was not valid without a vote and therefore did not have to comply with subpoenas. Although Pelosi writes that argument has no merit, Democrats will take a vote on Thursday that will formalize procedures for the next phase of the impeachment inquiry.
