House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she plans to sit down with President Donald Trump next week to discuss an infrastructure deal, even as she resists calls from some fellow Democrats to initiate impeachment proceedings against him.
"Impeachment is one of the most divisive paths we could go down as a country," Pelosi said Tuesday at an event in New York organized by Time magazine. The House can pursue its economic agenda at the same time it investigates Trump following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report on the 2016 election, she said.
