Pelosi on Trump impeachment: 'You're wasting your time' without GOP buy-in
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pushed back against Democrats saying she is setting too high a bar for impeaching President Trump, insisting that anything short of that is "wasting your time."
Pelosi said in an interview with USA Today that some progressive Democrats in the House have "wanted to impeach the president since the day he got elected."
She argued that Democrats should focus on legislation they campaigned on in 2018 instead of whether they should impeach Trump at this point.
"You're wasting your time, unless the evidence is so conclusive that the Republicans will understand," Pelosi told USA Today. "Otherwise, it's a gift to the president. We take our eye off the ball."
