WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today she has instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward on a motion to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump if the Republican does not resign after deadly pro-Trump riots at the U.S. Capitol.
“It is the hope of members that the president will immediately resign,” Pelosi said in a statement on her meeting with the House Democratic Caucus. “The House will preserve every option… With great respect, our deliberations will continue.”
