Appointing a diverse group of lawmakers to represent their case to the Senate was Pelosi's final act, the last bit of power she wields to convince the Senate that the president has committed impeachable offenses.
The case for why President Donald Trump should be found guilty during a Senate trial for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—and subsequently removed from office—now sits in the hands of seven House Democrats.
"We hope that our persuasive pile of evidence will lead them to that conclusion," Rep. Zoe Lofgren told reporters after being appointed a manager."We'll be a team." Schiff is chairman of the Intelligence Committee while Nadler leads Judiciary. Demings sits on both panels while Jeffries, Garcia and Lofgren have seats on Judiciary.
A swing-district member and one of the dozens of vulnerable House Democrats, Crow turned a red district blue. He also lacks a seat on the Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, meaning he did not play a role in the inquiry that Republicans have said broke rules and have accused of being a partisan witch hunt.
