House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday she will begin sending the Senate two articles impeaching President Trump after stalling for weeks in an effort to force Republicans to call witnesses.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, will soon call up a vote on a resolution authorizing her to appoint Democratic lawmakers to serve as “impeachment managers” in the Senate trial, she told fellow Democrats Friday.
