Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi confirmed Friday her party’s decision to hold public impeachment hearings in the coming weeks; telling reporters the inquiry will likely be televised “in November.”
“I would assume there would be public hearings in November,” Pelosi said at an event hosted by Bloomberg.
“I don’t know what the timetable will be — the truth will set us free,” she said. “We have not made any decisions on if the president will be impeached.”
Democratic members of the House of Representatives approved new legislation Thursday that formalizes their impeachment inquiry against President Trump; passing the resolution along party lines.
The final vote was 232-196. Two Democrats voted against the investigation.
“A yes vote on this resolution today gives a stamp of approval to a process that has been damaged beyond all repair and a blatant and obvious coup to unseat a sitting president of the United States,” Rep. Ross Spano, R-Fla., said.
“I do not take any pleasure in the need for this resolution,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said. “We are here because the facts compel us to be here.”
“The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!” posted Trump shortly after the vote.

“With today’s vote, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have done nothing more than enshrine unacceptable violations of due process into House rules,” said White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham.

BACKFIRE: Trump Approval Hits Highest Point This Year AFTER Pelosi’s Impeachment Push
President Trump’s approval rating popped to its highest level this year; hitting 49% in a Hill-Harris poll just days after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi officially endorsed an impeachment inquiry against the Commander-in-Chief.
“Despite the launch of impeachment proceedings, the president saw a 2-point increase from a poll a month ago, according to the new Hill-HarrisX survey released on Wednesday and taken after the impeachment inquiry was begun,” reports the NY Post. “That makes him just 2 points shy of his highest-ever approval rating of 51 percent last August.”
President Trump’s re-election campaign and the RNC raised more than $125 million dollars in the 3rd quarter of 2019; raising new questions over Nancy Pelosi’s recent impeachment push and its impact on the 2020 election.
“Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale announced the three-month total in a tweet Tuesday afternoon. The pro-Trump groups, which also include his joint fundraising entities with the GOP, have raised more than $308 million in total in 2019, and boast more than $156 million cash on hand,” reports CNBC.
“Huge fundraising haul this quarter. The @gop and @realDonaldTrump campaign brought in 125 million!!!@GOPChairwoman has been killing it. She’s a great partner as we go on to win 4 more years,” posted Parscale.

“We are investing millions on the airwaves and on the ground to hold House Democrats accountable, highlight their obstruction, and take back the House and re-elect President Trump in 2020,” GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
For comparison, former President Barack Obama raised just $70 million during the same period back in 2011.
