A group of House Republicans has called on President-elect Joe Biden to urge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to discontinue her efforts to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time.

In a letter on Saturday, Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), on behalf of seven House members, said that he believes a second impeachment only days before Trump is scheduled to leave office is as “unnecessary as it is inflammatory.”
