Watch Live: Pelosi To Deliver Impeachment Probe “Update” At 9 AM

Prompting speculation that she could be announcing a timeline for an impeachment vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly planning to deliver an update on the status of the impeachment inquiry Thursday morning at 9 am.

Pelosi will speak from the Speaker’s Balcony Hallway, the same spot from where she announced the launch of the impeachment probe back in September, roughly 71 days ago.

The statement comes as Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have been asked to stay in Washington this weekend to “prep”.

Even if she doesn’t announce plans for an imminent impeachment vote, the speaker’s remarks should at least help clarify the path forward, as Dems quietly debate whether to expand the scope of impeachment to go beyond the alleged quid pro quo with Ukraine.

On Wednesday, three Democratic witnesses made the case for Trump’s impeachment, while a fourth Republican witness argued that the Dems’ evidence falls well short of establishing a ‘quid pro quo’ between Trump and the Ukrainian government.

That the Dems are moving ahead shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone – after all, 16 Democratic members of the committee already voted to impeach Trump back in July.

The Speaker will deliver her weekly news conference later Thursday morning; she is also scheduled to appear during a CNN town hall Thursday evening.
