WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi faced off Sunday ahead of his impeachment trial, as she said senators will “pay a price” for blocking new witnesses and he quickly retorted that she and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff should both testify.
The House plans to vote this week to transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate for the historic trial on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over Trump’s actions toward Ukraine. It will be only the third presidential impeachment trial in American history and could start this week.
Trump and Pelosi, the two most powerful party leaders in the nation, communicated as often happens in this presidency - with the president responding on Twitter to a television interview.
“It’s about a fair trial,” Pelosi told ABC’s “This Week.” “We’ve done our job. We have defended the Constitution of the United States. We would hope the Senate would do that as well.”
She warned, “Now the ball is in their court to either do that or pay a price.”

Pound sand, you crazy old lady!
GEEZE San Fran Nan I am sure those senators are just shaking in their shoes with worry!!!
I believe her worst nightmare is actually if Trump gets to call his witnesses first.
She thinks that she can threaten like that????
Words fail me about the delusions of grandeur and self-worth and self-importance she has.
LOL - THAT'S A JOKE!
What’s she gonna do? Wail on McConnell with her giant gavel?
Her real problem will not be too few witnesses. Logic is obviously not her strong suit but she is admitting Adam didn’t make the case.
Go after paul like we did with hunter she’ll quiet down
The concept and purpose of a “fair trail” is to give the accused a fair trial. It is not intended as a means for the state to be fair to itself.
Most unfair and unfairly developed Articles of Impeachment EVER!
Someone, PLEASE, give that old bag a sanity test! Crazy Nancy, YOU’RE FIRED!
I don’t think so. Go after Paul and people will begin to have “unfortunate accidents”.
Enough vodka will do that to people.
Nancy Pong-un.
Memo: Nancy Pelosi
Subject: Impeachment
Nancy no one but Democrats will pay a price for this Impeachment fraud. A vast number of Americans decided that once again there is nothing there.
If you have not noticed President Trump’s approval numbers are going up not down (and this with your own bias polling firms).
So the best advise I can give to you is when you are in a hole, stop digging.
Voting Public
These Articles of Impeachment are SF poop on the floor of the Senate.
Ditch has a heck of a cleanup to do to fumigate the place.
What the hell is going on with these threats. They had total control and plenty of chances to call anyone they wanted. So this is just a ploy.
