Pelosi, Trump and impeachment: How the speaker got to ‘yes’

LA Times  

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi walks out of a meeting with her caucus Tuesday on Capitol Hill. Mr. President, she told him, “undo it.” With those two words, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered President Trump one last chance to avoid becoming only the fourth president in office to face impeachment proceedings. Pelosi’s decision to launch an impeachment inquiry Tuesday was set in motion even before that early morning phone call, the inevitable response to an administration that repeatedly defied Congress before refusing to turn over a whistleblower’s complaint against the president. Then the conversation turned to the fallout from a whistleblower’s complaint that he pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a current Democratic presidential candidate. But for Pelosi, who wore an American flag pin rather than her speaker’s mace brooch on her blue dress Tuesday, impeachment was always a last resort.
