Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday defended her approach to the first impeachment of then-President Donald Trump in 2019, in her first public comments on the Republican effort to launch an inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Pelosi, in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, denied having changed precedent in the chamber, as Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has claimed in recent days to justify his strategy. “He is saying Nancy didn’t bring a bill to the floor. We did,” Pelosi insisted to Cooper in an interview on “AC360.
Pelosi – who Biden called “the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in our history,” in a statement last year – offered a full-throated endorsement of the president’s reelection bid, even as some have raised concerns over his age and vitality. At 80, Biden would be the oldest person elected to the presidency if he wins reelection next year.
