House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats have not ruled impeachment in or out if they win the House majority in the midterms. He said any accountability effort would follow the facts, the law and the Constitution.
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Jeffries said Democrats are focused on retaking the House and cited lowering costs, making health care affordable and addressing what he called corruption as priorities. Asked whether his call to hold people accountable meant impeachment proceedings would begin on day one, he said Democrats had not ruled anything in or out.
