As Democrats seize on the impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump, his top allies — including House Minority Speaker Kevin McCarthy — are doing their best to interrupt or even stop the process completely.
According to The Hill, in a letter written by McCarthy on Thursday, the GOP House leader demanded that the impeachment inquiry proceedings halt, citing a lack of transparency and defined rules of the investigation.
“I am writing to request you suspend all efforts surrounding your ‘impeachment inquiry’ until transparent and equitable rules and procedures are established to govern the inquiry, as is customary,” McCarthy wrote.
But as The Hill reported, Pelosi took the time Thursday to respond in kind to McCarthy’s request and in doing so, essentially told him there was no chance of suspension, especially given that the president openly asked for Ukraine and China to investigate former vice president Joe Biden this week.
