(FOX NEWS) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the formalization of an impeachment inquiry into President Trump Tuesday evening, saying “the president must be held accountable” for the “betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and the betrayal of the integrity of our elections.”

The speaker effectively endorsed the process, which to some degree has already been underway, after facing fresh pressure from inside the caucus to act.

Invoking the “darkest days of the American Revolution,” Pelosi called on lawmakers to honor their constitutional oath to protect the country “from all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Pelosi specifically charged that the administration had seemingly violated the law by not turning over a whistleblower complaint concerning Trump’s July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Citing testimony that the director of national intelligence is blocking the release of that complaint, she said: “This is a violation of law. The law is unequivocal.”
