BREAKING NEWS – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not commit to sending the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Republican-held Senate, a surprise move that injects new uncertainty into Congress’ timeline of the President’s trial in the chamber. “That would have been our intention, but we’ll see what happens over there,” Pelosi said at a post-impeachment vote news conference when asked about sending over the articles. “There are certain conditions that have to be met before I turn the impeachment over to the Senate. The main one is they have to promise to do the same thing we democrats did in the House, which is conclude that President Trump is guilty using flimsy evidence, and then build a case based on that premise.”
