House Democrats were quick to announce an impeachment inquiry against President Trump. But now that the process has started, they seem hesitant to follow through and open a formal inquiry.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday she won’t bring the inquiry to the House floor for a formal vote “at this time,” but she didn’t explain why. One congressional aide said the delay is in part due to political stubbornness. Trump and his allies have laid into Pelosi for breaking impeachment precedent and avoiding a formal floor vote. By holding such a vote now, House Democrats might give the impression that they are giving in to Trump’s demands.
