On December 18, 2019 the U.S. House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, despite bipartisan opposition. Key Democrats stressed the urgency of completing this impeachment inquiry. However, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that she would hold the articles for an unspecified amount of time before sending them to the Senate, which is unprecedented in House impeachment inquiries.
This week, nearly a month later, nothing has changed and Speaker Pelosi has finally sent the articles to the Senate for consideration. |
