Pelosi says she will send impeachment articles once McConnell discloses Senate rules by jonward11
“Under the Senate rules of 1986, what is allowed for the presentation from the House is one person to speak,” Pelosi told reporters. “So are those the terms? Is that what we should be ready for? Or is there something else that they have in mind?
“I’m not holding them indefinitely. I’ll send them over when I’m ready. That will probably be soon,” she said. Pelosi withheld sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate after the House voted to impeach President Trump on Dec. 19, saying she wanted assurances from the Republican leader that he would agree to have witnesses in the Senate trial.
Story continuesFor Pelosi, mere assurances from McConnell are unlikely to be enough. But if McConnell were to provide clear written guidance of what rules he plans to have his Republican senators approve, Pelosi’s comments on Thursday indicate that might be enough to end the stalemate.
