Congress and Impeachment

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined in an MS NOW interview to say whether she believes President Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his second term, but said a future Democratic‑controlled Congress would have the 'power to go there' and that Trump’s status as a convicted felon is 'subject to review.' Pressed twice by host Ali Vitali about alleged corruption and impeachment, Pelosi emphasized Democrats would campaign on lowering the cost of living and reversing Trump cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP, while also 'fighting their corruption.' She framed any impeachment move as a serious step that requires building a factual case, saying 'that’s up to a new Congress to come to that decision' and insisting it cannot be based on 'I feel like doing this.' Pelosi, who is retiring at the end of her term in January 2027, also reiterated she has no regrets about Trump’s first‑term impeachments and contrasted her current stance with a December 2025 interview in which she said there was not enough cause—signaling that Democrats are keeping the impeachment option on the table if they regain power.
