President Trump could face impeachment hearings for the second time in just over a year. On Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House of Representatives will begin evaluating the Impeachment of President Trump if he does not resign.
Reacting to Wednesday’s events, where rioters overtook the U.S. Capitol, Pelosi issued a statement that read in part:
“It is the hope of members that the president will immediately resign. But if he does not, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with Congressman Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment.”
