Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley said today that an impeachment trial in the Senate could delay a vote on President Donald Trump’s new NAFTA deal by a month.

Still, he said he was hopeful that a delay by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send over the articles of impeachment could give the upper chamber time to vote on the agreement.


“If I want to speculate, they don’t come over for another week or 10 days and then we’ve got time to get this done,” the Iowa Republican said before a committee markup of a bill that would implement the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
