HOUSE OF REPS/IMPEACHMENT/NANCY PELOSI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/UKRAINE: “President Donald Trump on Tuesday [9-24-19] reacted with fury to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry, firing off a burst of tweets accusing the speaker of detracting from his keynote address at the United Nations General Assembly with ‘Witch Hunt garbage’…In five minutes of remarks, Pelosi announced that she was ‘directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry,’ after facing months of increasing pressure from the rest of her caucus…Pelosi’s concession and decision to announce a formal impeachment inquiry comes after a weeklong dribble of news about a call between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart during which the president pressed for a corruption investigation into one of his chief political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Biden’s son Hunter.”
