"I had said then he's not worth impeaching because it's going to divide the country further than he has already divided. This was something that you could not ignore.
In terms of today's vote, in which 231 Democrats voted yes and zero Republicans voted no , Pelosi clarified that "we didn't have to vote to formalize the inquiry" but instead Thursday's vote was "to present the rules of procedure."
