White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said that President Donald Trump is “not afraid of a fight” as the House of Representatives prepared to finally send the articles of impeachment passed last month to the Senate.
House Democrats said they would vote on Wednesday to send the articles to the Senate, triggering an impeachment trial. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she delayed the submission because of concerns Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wouldn’t conduct a “fair trial,” but so far it appears little came of the delay.
