Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi speaks to the press on June 13, 2019, during her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Thursday repeatedly refused to say at what point she would support impeaching President Donald Trump, whose claim that he would possibly take foreign operatives' dirt on a 2020 opponent was loudly condemned by her party a day earlier.

"Not any one issue is going to trigger, 'Oh, now we'll go do this,'" Pelosi told reporters when asked whether Trump's remarks were enough to push the top House Democrat — who has strongly resisted an impeachment fight — over the edge.

In an interview that aired in part Wednesday, Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that he would accept information on his 2020 opponent if it was offered by foreign operatives and would not alert the FBI.

"It's not an interference. They have information. I think I'd take it," Trump said.

The comments from a sitting president were immediately met with an outcry from Democrats and political organizations, as well as some Republicans.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a major supporter of Trump's, said his response to the question was "not the right answer ... the right answer is 'no.'"

"Everybody in the country should be totally appalled by what the president said," Pelosi said when asked if Trump inviting foreign help in an election was grounds for impeachment. "But he has a habit of making appalling statements," she added.

Even if Trump was found to have accepted a foreign government's help in the election, Pelosi avoided making any commitment to launching impeachment proceedings.
