House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that any talks about President Trump and the impeachment proceedings were off the table while she visits overseas.
“We aren’t here to talk about impeachment of the president of the United States,” the California Democrat said Monday at a climate summit in Madrid. “We’re here to talk positively about our agenda to save the planet for future generations.”
The comment is an affirmation of a policy the top House Democrat has of not criticizing Republicans when she is abroad. In April, Pelosi said in Europe that she does not “criticize the president outside the country.”
In June, Trump called the speaker “nervous wreck” and a “disgrace” just before he gave a speech in Normandy, France, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Allied landings on D-Day.
House Democrats are preparing another round of testimony with hearings being held by the House Judiciary Committee now instead of the House Intelligence Committee. The White House has said they will not cooperate with the hearings.
