House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her top deputy,
Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Wednesday they do not support a
colleague's resolution calling for the impeachment of President Trump.
"Right now, congressional committees continue to be deeply engaged in investigations into the president’s actions both before and after his inauguration," Pelosi and Hoyer said in a statement. "The special counsel’s investigation is moving forward as well, and those inquiries should be allowed to continue. Now is not the time to consider articles of impeachment.”
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, introduced an impeachment measure on Tuesday. The House will likely vote to table the measure Tuesday afternoon.
Pelosi has long rejected Democrats seeking to impeach Trump and has instead called on the party to focus on issues that can resonate with voters in 2018, such as health insurance and job creation.
Here is the full statement from Pelosi and Hoyer:
“Congress faces a vast set of urgent, overdue priorities for the American people. Democrats are firmly focused on taking real, effective steps to improve the lives of hard-working Americans and defeating Republicans’ cruel barrage of attacks on the middle class.
