House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other House Republicans criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democrats over the possibility that they might withhold articles of impeachment to delay a Senate trial.
“She cannot hold onto [the articles] forever, that’s abuse of power. But it’s just an acknowledgment from the speaker that their impeachment is so weak that it’s the—it’s the weakest, thinnest, and fastest impeachment in US history,” McCarthy told Fox Business on Thursday. Meanwhile, he pilloried the speaker for declining to take further questions about the tactic, which Pelosi has neither confirmed nor denied.
