House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended her decision to hold off on transmitting the articles, calling McConnell a "rogue leader.”
Pelosi spoke to reporters after Democrats passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump in a Wednesday evening vote. She indicated the House would eventually send the articles over to the upper chamber but insisted it is up to the Senate to determine how the process develops going forward.
After the House approves articles of impeachment, they are normally sent to the Senate for a trial without delay. But Pelosi has signaled that the House is waiting for the Senate to set out how Trump's trial will be conducted before they determine the next steps, such as designating impeachment managers.
Trump just tweeted that Nancy Pelosi is looking for a “Quid Pro Quo” with the US Senate over impeachment:
Nancy Pelosi is looking for a Quid Pro Quo with the Senate. Why aren’t we Impeaching her?

“Nancy Pelosi is looking for a Quid Pro Quo with the Senate. Why aren’t we Impeaching her?”
Ok that’s pretty funny.
One might also note that she wants this “Quid Pro Quo” in order to make things worse on her political opponent, Trump! IMPEACH!
