House Democrats increasingly support opening an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump after the White House's continued stonewalling of congressional investigations.
House Democrats increasingly supported opening an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump amid the continued stonewalling of congressional investigations by the White House. The growing number of calls had come despite pushback from the House leadership that the party would be playing into the president’s hands by initiating a divisive, partisan proceeding.
Rank-and-file members began to fall in line with their colleagues on the panel, despite pushback from leadership, which continued to support investigations and taking matters to the courts. "I understand that we should be reluctant. And I agree with [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] in that this is not a situation where we rush to impeachment," Kildee said. But, he added,"I'm personally much more open to it now than I was a few months ago."
Democrats acknowledged that the leadership had found itself in a tough position. Nadler seemed caught in the middle—between those who continued to push for an impeachment inquiry and the House leadship, including Pelosi, Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
