Republican House leaders said that the allegations against President Donald Trump laid out in two articles of impeachment aren’t supported by evidence.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), speaking at a press conference in Washington on Dec. 10, said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “bowed down to the most radical elements of her base,” who want to overturn the results of the 2016 election, “instead of standing up to them and saying that she was going to work for the American people.”
