Meanwhile, House Democrats went ahead with a plan to try to oust President Trump. The trio of House Democrats plan to present the impeachment articles on Monday. Pelosi said in a statement Friday that he hoped Mr. Trump would resign, but the House is preparing to move forward with a proposal on the 25th Amendment and impeachment.
Sources told CBS News that Mr. Trump has no plans to step down. But for the first time, the White House has acknowledged that impeachment is a real possibility, saying it will only further divide the country.
On Friday, the White House called the impeachment articles “politically motivated” and reiterated Mr. Trump’s claims the night before that he was calling for “healing and unity.”
