Nancy Pelosi is about to drop an impeachment bomb on Donald Trump
Tonight was already slated to be a high profile night for the Democrats, as their 2020 presidential primary debate is scheduled to start at 8pm eastern time. But now it turns out a potentially even bigger televised event is also taking place this evening, courtesy of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi tweeted this just now: “I will be taking questions from reporters tonight at 6:30 pm ET following House Democrats’ Caucus meeting.” She added the hashtag #TruthExposed. She hasn’t provided additional details, but NBC News is reporting that her press conference will specifically be about the impeachment process against Donald Trump.
What’s notable is that Pelosi isn’t just calling the media together to give a prepared statement about Trump’s impeachment. She’s making a point of taking questions, which strongly suggests that she’s announcing something big. You don’t announce something underwhelming and then take questions.
This leaves us trying to parse Nancy Pelosi’s “Truth Exposed” hashtag. Over the past few days, multiple current and former members of the Trump administration have testified to the House impeachment inquiry about Donald Trump’s Ukraine crimes, but it’s all been behind closed doors. Just what is Pelosi about to expose? Are we about to see the first formal articles of impeachment introduced? We’ll soon find out.
