House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that Democrats shouldn’t impeach President Trump “for a political reason.”
Speaking at the inaugural Time 100 Summit, Pelosi also called the Trump administration an “existential threat” to “our democracy in terms of our Constitution,” when asked about what her party's response should be to the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election. “It’s about the presentation of the facts, and when we have the facts we’ll have a better idea of how we go forward.”
Pelosi said she held a conference call Monday with 177 Democratic House members and listened to comments regarding Mueller's report, which was released last week. Many Democrats have concluded that the report's description of President Trump’s efforts to thwart the special counsel's investigation constitute potential grounds for impeachment.
