\"MagicalNewsweek<\/b> – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered one of her strongest rebukes of the Trump presidency on Tuesday, telling her Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill to allow time for the president to \u201cself-impeach\u201d\u00a0before spearheading efforts to remove him from office just months into his tenure in Washington.

Pelosi\u2019s comments followed a discussion over the second draft article of impeachment from Democratic Rep.\u00a0Brad Sherman, who joined<\/a> Texas Congressman Al Green in his official call on the House floor to impeach Trump over obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n

Democrats have repeatedly pointed to Trump\u2019s firing of former FBI Director James Comey and subsequent statements to the news media that he dismissed the head of the agency while considering the FBI investigation into Russia\u2019s meddling in last year\u2019s election, as an example of the president interfering with a federal probe into his campaign and new administration.<\/p>\n
