Pelosi fires back at Trump for criticizing impeachment process

Source: The Hill

BY JULIEGRACE BRUFKE

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday fired back at President Trump over his criticisms of the House impeachment process, arguing she can't pick trial managers until she has a clear picture of how the Senate plans to proceed.

“The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct,” she tweeted. “President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from the House, and from the American people, on phony complaints about the House process. What is his excuse now?”

Pelosi's comments came shortly after Trump blasted Pelosi for her decision to not send the articles of impeachment to the Senate immediately after last week's House vote.

“Pelosi gives us the most unfair trial in the history of the U.S. Congress, and now she is crying for fairness in the Senate, and breaking all rules while doing so. She lost Congress once, she will do it again!” Trump tweeted.
