WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she wants to move "expeditiously" on the

impeachment inquiry into whether President Donald Trump abused his power by pushing
Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden.

At the center of the inquiry, which was launched last week, is a complaint from an unidentified
intelligence agency official. The complaint accuses Trump of having "used the power of his
office" to solicit foreign interference to discredit Biden, the 2020 Democratic frontrunner. It
also alleges that White House officials sought to "lock down" records of a July 25 phone call
between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in which the president urged
Zelensky to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, who once had business interests in Ukraine.

Trump contends he did nothing improper and accuses Democrats of wanting to overturn the
results of the 2016 election.

Some lawmakers want the House to decide whether to file articles of impeachment by
Thanksgiving, a timeline that could avoid having the issue spill over into the 2020 election year.
