House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will proceed with legislation to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time 7 days before the end of his term.
She pushed Trump vice president and his Cabinet to invoke constitutional authority force him out. That failed.
In a letter in mid-January 2019, Trump canceled a trip Pelosi was scheduled to take to Brussels and Afghanistan on a military plane.
After the release of the Mueller report in April, [again failed attempt against Trump] talk of impeachment began to swirl. Pelosi told reporters the president was “engaged in a cover-up.
Another fight erupted when the Justice Department backed a judge's ruling that the entire Affordable Care Act should be repealed.
In mid-October, tensions between Trump and Pelosi cut a White House meeting short after 20 minutes. The meeting, which was meant to be about the administration's Syria policy, began with the president declaring he did not want to be there.
On December 17, Trump sent a six-page letter to Pelosi, calling the impeachment inquiry “an unconstitutional abuse of power” and “war on American Democracy.” The impeachment failed miserably.
