GOP Leader Formally Requests That Pelosi Suspend Impeachment Inquiry

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) penned a leader to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday calling on House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump to be suspended over its lack of transparency.

“I am writing to request you suspend all efforts surrounding your ‘impeachment inquiry’ until transparent and equitable rules and procedures are established to govern the inquiry, as is customary,” McCarthy wrote. “As you know, there have only been three prior instances in our nation’s history when the full House has moved to formally investigate whether sufficient grounds exist for the impeachment of a sitting president.”
