House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will "soon'' transmit the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, signaling a potential thaw in the standoff with Senate Republicans as she warned against rushing to an acquittal without a fair trial.
Pelosi, D-Calif., faces mounting pressure from Republicans and some Democrats to quit delaying the president's trial in the Senate, three weeks after the House Democrats impeached Trump on charges of abuse and obstruction.
Republicans say Democrats are embarrassed by their vote. But Pelosi countered that Democrats are ''proud'' of upholding the Constitution and said she doubted that Senate Republicans will do the same.
Many on Capitol Hill expect the Senate impeachment trial to begin next week.
"I'll send them over when I'm ready. That will probably be soon," Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol Thursday, noting she is not postponing it "indefinitely.''
So we have to protect presidential privilege for me, but for future presidents. That's very important."
