Pelosi Says She’s “Heartbroken” Over Impeachment “We Must Be Somber”

During an interview with MSBNC Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Attorney General William Barr has “gone rogue,” citing the Justice Department’s handling of the Ukraine scandal, adding that House Democrats will not rush their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

“[Barr has] gone rogue,” Pelosi told MSNBC Friday. “I think where they’re going is a coverup of a coverup. I think it’s sad, to have a Justice Department go so rogue. Well, they have been for a while. And now it just makes matters worse.”

ABCNews reports Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Saturday that she is heartbroken and prayerful as House Democrats move forward with their impeachment inquiry and that President Donald Trump’s actions left her no other choice.

“This is a very sad time for our country. There is no joy in this,” she said. “We must be somber, we must be prayerful and we must pursue the facts further to make a decision as to, Did this violate the Constitution of the United States? Which I believe it did.”

Pelosi’s appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday comes just four days after she announced the U.S. House of Representatives would pursue a formal impeachment inquiry of Trump.

“I’m heartbroken about it. I would just have hoped that there would be something exculpatory, something that would say, ‘This is not what it seems to be,’ but that’s not where we are right now,” she added. “I think that right now there’s a cover up of the cover up. This really goes beyond.”

Her conversation with Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith was the headlining event of the festival, a weekend of dialogue featuring some of the biggest names in politics.
