Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defers to party leadership on impeachment talk

Daily Mail  

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has backed down on impeachment talk related to President Donald Trump, saying she will defer to Democrat party leadership on the issue. I understand that leadership may want to build a stronger case and subpoena more records or figure out what's happening, perhaps in the Mueller investigation,' Ocasio-Cortez said. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she will defer talk of impeaching President Donald Trump to Democrat party leadership despite calling for him to impeached in the past 'I certainly believe there's been enough misconduct happening out of this office that would be unbecoming of any president.' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed talk of impeachment just last week following testimony from Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen.
