Speaker Nancy Pelosi hints House could take further action

against Trump if Senate acquits.

"We'll see what we do next," she said during a press conference.

As the Senate appeared to be moving toward acquitting President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday refused to rule out further action to hold the president accountable.

Pelosi was asked whether the House would attempt to compel former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify in the lower chamber should the Senate trial end without his testimony.

"This is in the Senate now," Pelosi, D-Calif., said, holding onto optimism that the upper chamber would call witnesses. "I hope and I pray that the senators can handle the truth and listen to not only John Bolton, but other witnesses as well."

She added, "We'll see what happens after that."'>>>

To run him through the wringer all over again. Fire up the hearings for Pence, too. Rape is a felony. So is bank and tax fraud. Madame Speaker can walk an article over once a week, until the election!
