“Everything is about time,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began her press conference announcing House managers for the Senate impeachment trial. “How we use it… how we mick, how we uh, mark it, and today is an important day.”
After stumbling through that first part, Pelosi announced the House’s intention to send articles of impeachment over following a swift vote approving the seven managers.
The seven managers include Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, two of the loudest impeachment supporters, along with several others who you wouldn’t know, but we will list them anyway.
- House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA)
- House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY)
- Rp. Val Demings (D-FL)
- Rep. Zoe Logren (D-CA)
- Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO)
- Rep. Sylva Garcia (D-TX)
- Rep. Hakeen Jeffries (D-NY)
According to Talking Points Memo:
The team of Democrats will be in charge of making the House’s case against Trump in the Senate trial expected to begin next week. Last month, the House adopted articles of impeachment that alleged Trump abused his power with his Ukraine pressure campaign and that he obstructed Congress by stonewalling the investigation into the Ukraine matter.
Wednesday’s announcement kicks into gear what is expected to be the final phase of impeachment-related activity in the House. Later today, after a very short floor debate, the House will vote on a resolution naming the floor managers.
