Washington A group of freshman Democrats is working to convince House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to draft Rep. Justin Amash as an impeachment manager for the expected Senate trial, a source familiar with the matter told CNN on Sunday.

The group is led by Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who has been in touch with the Michigan independent, who is open to the idea, the source said. The anticipated trial has the power to elevate the careers of those chosen for the high-profile job of officially presenting House Democrats' case, so different members are angling for those jobs. CNN reached out to Amash and Phillips on Sunday for comment. The Washington Post first reported the group's effort.

I don't trust him. He was, after all, a TEA Party Republican, with all the dishonesty entailed in being one of those - disingenuousness about Obamacare, hatred of Obama, etc.

Freshman socialist

LOL the Alex Jones of the Democrat party is going to lead the clown show. Perfect!! Popcorn time.

Way to go Pelosi: Show any GOP members that if you defect, the DNC will make you take a purity test by accepting a role that will lead to political suicide By contrast, McCarthy says: you are all welcome here. No strings. Who said Pelosi was a good at politics again?

They arent going to impeach him. They are scared of a trial. This was all for show to slander the President. Let's be real for a minute. If there was an actual mountain of evidence, I wish someone could explain this to me.

Dnc is corrupt.

Oh lord🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Amash is a coward for politics!

McConnell: 'There's no chance' Trump is removed from officeSenate Majority Leader McConnell says there is “no chance” that President Trump would be removed from office in any impeachment trial. That is fine you say that now. More information and public sentiment is sure to have an impact. And if you stifle a proper and fair trial based on evidence, you and other R Senators and even the Chief Justice will live in infamy by letting down the Republic and Constitution. What a political sham! Total waste of time and money. All this nonsense did is make haters hate more, and rally the Trump supporters and swing some moderates who saw through this. Republicans must pay a huge price for this ....
