US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she expected to start a Trump impeachment hearing in November after the official investigation.

This information was given by Pelosi in a conversation with the media on November 1, just one day after the US House of Representatives held a vote and officially passed the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, regarding his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During the phone call, Trump allegedly urged Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate's top candidate in the race to the White House in 2020 for personal political purposes. Trump and the White House denied this allegation.

Pelosi said there was no deadline for the investigation and the secret testimony of witnesses to continue, as long as "valid", for any argument that impeaches the President "must be very solid ".

Pelosi also said that Congress should pursue the impeachment investigation of Trump regardless of its impact on financial markets. "The market has its own strength and resilience," she said.

In response to Pelosi's statement, Trump said, "You cannot impeach a president for doing nothing wrong. You cannot impeach a president who leads the largest economy" as he prepares to leave the White House for Mississippi. campaign.

Talking about the impeachment process, Pelosi did not rule out an investigation that continues until 2020, the presidential election year, because the emergence of new clues is unpredictable. "I don't know the exact schedule, everything depends on the truth. We have not made a decision about impeachment of the President," she said.

After the vote on October 31 with 232 votes in favor and 196 votes against, the US House of Representatives officially opened a new and open phase in the Trump impeachment investigation.

If the US House of Representatives opens a impeachment hearing and votes to approve the impeachment clause of Trump, a Senate trial will be held. However, Trump will only be convicted and deposed if two-thirds of the senators vote against him, a scenario unlikely because the Republican party controls the Senate. No Republican senator voted to pass a Trump impeachment investigation in the House of Representatives on October 31.
