Democrat Nancy Pelosi is about to eat a lot of crow. She said it's "hogwash" and "ridiculous" to say she opened an impeachment inquiry into President Trump without a House vote: "I don't know why the press keeps repeating it." However, if people remember, that's exactly what happened. If you look at this quote from a USA Today article dating back to 2019, then you'll see Nancy Pelosi just lied to Americans. The political news article about Pelosi and Trump's impeachment inquiry said this:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she is rejecting calls by President Donald Trump and his GOP allies to hold a full vote on whether to authorize an impeachment inquiry.
After meeting with Democratic lawmakers in a closed-door meeting, Pelosi said it was not necessary to take the additional step on a probe that is already well under way.
"There's no requirement that we have a vote," Pelosi said. "We're not here to call bluffs. We're here to find the truth to uphold the Constitution of the United States. This is not a game for us. This is deadly serious."
