House GOP Leader Threatens Vote To Remove Pelosi As Speaker If She Tries To Impeach Trump Over SCOTUS Nomination

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Wednesday that he would move to remove Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as House Speaker if she tries to bring impeachment charges against President Donald Trump just to keep him from nominating a Supreme Court justice.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, McCarthy referred to Pelosi’s Sunday comments in which she wouldn’t rule out impeachment as a way to stop Trump from getting another Supreme Court nominee, the New York Post reported.
