MORE later said that Congress would be "delinquent" if it did not impeach the president, while Trump blasted the probe as a "witch hunt."

Pelosi also announced support for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement Tuesday.

Clinton himself was impeached in 1998 and was accused of lying under oath and obstructing justice, but was acquitted in a Senate trial.

If Trump is impeached, more than two-thirds of the Senate would need to vote for his removal in order for him to be kicked out of office.
