House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has always been against Democrats who want to impeach President Donald Trump despite her opposition to the move.

Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Joe Neguse (D-CO), all members of House Democrat leadership, pushed to begin impeachment proceedings during a leadership meeting in Pelosi’s office Monday night.

Pelosi and Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Cheri Bustos (D-IL), all strong Pelosi allies, rejected the calls. Many of them contended that impeachment will drown out the Democrats’ message.

A former law professor Raskin, said he did not want to advocate for impeaching Trump but rather to open an impeachment inquiry, which would allegedly strengthen their legal position while allowing Democrats to continue to pass partisan bills through the House.

Pelosi dismissed Raskin’s notion, asking the Maryland congressman whether he wanted to shut down the Democrats’ five committee investigations into the Trump administration to focus on a potential House Judiciary impeachment inquiry.
