Shortly before implying that the House will take additional action if Trump is acquited, Pelosi censured the president’s legal counsel. The House Speaker maintains that Trump’s lawyers failed to make a solid case in his defense. Moreover, Pelosi claimed that the president’s attorneys aim to “avoid the truth.”
Her statements about the House taking additional measures against Trump read as follows:
“We are right now, prayerful and hopeful that the Senate will have the courage to hear the truth about the president’s actions. Then we’ll see what we do next.”
More Impeachment Articles?
Yesterday’s press conference does not mark the first instance of Democrats possibly taking additional action against Trump. Weeks ago, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned of Pelosi working behind the scenes to determine whether the House could bring a third impeachment article against Trump. This took place while Pelosi sat on the present impeachment articles and before she turned them over the Senate.
