House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday significantly escalated her rhetoric against President Donald J. Trump, claiming that his actions in the Ukraine scandal amounted to “bribery.”

The strong language was a departure from Democrats’ previous characterization of Trump’s actions as a quid pro quo, a latin term of art that many felt lacked the rhetorical punch of other words like “bribe” or “extort.”

The use of more charged language comes as evidence emerges that a witness heard the President directly asking about investigations into the Bidens, thus tying himself directly to the scandal.

The witness who overheard the call, David Holmes, is slated to give a closed-door deposition on Friday.

NNP Quote: “”We talk Latin around here…Quid pro quo. Bribery. Bribery. That is in the Constitution attached to the impeachment proceedings…The bribe is to grant or withhold military assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into elections. That’s bribery.” – Statement from Speaker Nancy Pelosi

NNP Background: After the release of the Mueller Report and Mueller’s subsequent testimony failed to move the needle on impeachment support for Trump, the Ukraine quid pro quo scandal has re-invigorated Democrats’ impeachment push.

Support for impeachment has grown in recent weeks as more details of the Ukraine scandal emerge, and Democrats have increasingly sought to build on the momentum to sustain the impeachment drive.
