Dianne Feinstein backpedals on telling Pelosi to end delay over impeachment trial

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein walked back her previous statement urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for the trial on Thursday.

The House of Representatives voted to impeach the president on two articles, one for obstruction of Congress and one for abuse of power, last month. The speaker has refused to pass the articles along to the Senate, where a trial will be held as she’s trying to force concessions from the GOP-majority led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
