Nancy Pelosi is expected to announce an impeachment inquiry Tuesday afternoon
, will announce a formal inquiry on Tuesday, according to two Democratic sources close to her.Politicothat as of now, 174 House Democrats have come out in favor of either impeachment or an inquiry, while 61—most of them from right-leaning districts—have stayed mum. That number rose significantly on Tuesday.
The impeachment inquiry will center around Trump’s alleged attempt to force the Ukrainian government to investigate Hunter Biden’s business dealings with the country. Reports indicate that Trump froze $400 million in Ukrainian aid before the call, which is seen by some as a sign that he was attempting to extort president Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump claims he merely wanted other European nations to contribute, and that he plans to release the transcript of the call.
