House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is calling for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to suspend the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump until she puts into place “transparent and equitable rules and procedures.”

“Unfortunately, you have given no clear indication as to how your impeachment inquiry will proceed—including whether key historical precedents or basic standards of due process will be observed,” McCarthy wrote in a letter (pdf) to Pelosi on Oct. 3.
