Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will prepare to send articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate next week, triggering a new, more serious phase of the battle over witnesses at the trial.
Shortly after Pelosi’s announcement on Friday, Republican Senator Susan Collins said she’s talking with her GOP colleagues about agreeing to hear testimony, and Trump vowed to invoke executive privilege to limit his former national security adviser, John Bolton, if he appears as a witness.
