A day after the House voted to formalize the procedures of the impeachment inquiry, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended the ongoing investigation by arguing that President Trump's actions with respect to Ukraine 'just removed all doubt that we had to act'

The comments come in the wake of a consequential and contentious floor vote on Thursday that marked the first time the full House chamber took a vote related to the inquiry.
"I'm already being attacked for my vote today in support of the impeachment inquiry," freshman Democrat Lucy McBath, who flipped a congressional seat from red to blue in Georgia in the 2018 midterms, tweeted on Thursday, in one sign of that pressure.
