After the House voted to impeach President Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested that she will not send articles of impeachment to the Senate until she thinks House Democrats will get a fair hearing.

“We have legislation approved by the Rules Committee that will enable us to decide how we will send over the articles of impeachment,” Pelosi told reporters Wednesday. “We cannot name [impeachment] managers until we see what the process is on the Senate side.”
