JORGE RAMOS, SENIOR ANCHOR, UNIVISION: Congresswoman, I’d like to set aside the issue of the children and talk to you about the possibility that President Donald Trump be impeached. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had this to say in that regard:

 

SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): We do believe that it’s important to follow the facts. We believe that no one is above the law, including the President of the United States, and we believe that the President of the United States is engaged in a cover-up.

 

RAMOS: Congresswoman, there is certainly no consensus still within the Democratic Party, but I want to ask you if you believe- if you would be in favor of initiating a process to remove President Donald Trump (from office), even though we all know that the Republican-controlled Senate would never support this.

U.S. REP. NYDIA VELAZQUEZ (D-NY): What I believe,and I agree with Nancy Pelosi...the American public, the people of this country, never want to take the step to impeach- to remove a president- without having all the facts. What is important to starting an impeachment process must be that the American people be with us- and the only way that that we will lead the American public to adopt that position is through an exhaustive investigation that shows the People what the facts are, what the actions are. And not to say in the media that the Mueller report talks about 10 times where he obstructed justice, it is that we bring...bring witnesses like Mueller and that this not be something that they read or heard about, but rather that they became spectators to that investigation. Only then will we be able to earn the support of the American people.
