House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday stood by her position that the House will not send the Senate the just-passed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump until she sees “the process that is set forth in the Senate” -- how a trial would be structured.
Notably, she has not said what exactly she needs to see for from the Senate and it's still not clear if the Democrats’ demand for live witnesses will be a deal-breaker. McConnell, speaking on the Senate floor a short time before Pelosi, said that she and her fellow Democrats were getting"cold feet" and were"afraid" to send their"shoddy" articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Pelosi said the House wouldn’t name impeachment managers – the term used to describe the team of House members selected to present the impeachment case to the Senate – “until we see what the process will be on the Senate side.” But the possibility of withholding the articles to maintain leverage over the terms of a Senate impeachment trial has picked up steam among progressives.
