'Formal impeachment proceedings' have finally begun. But with a whimper, not a bang.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY) finally said officially on Thursday that he is overseeing impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump.
“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler said on CNN. “We are investigating all the evidence, gathering the evidence.”
“By the end of the year,” Nadler said, he hopes to his committee will have come to a conclusion about whether to bring articles of impeachment to the House floor.
“That’s a decision that we’ll have to make,” he said. “But that’s exactly the process we’re in right now.”
