NEW: House Minority Leader McCarthy calls for Speaker Pelosi to suspend impeachment inquiry.
WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday to suspend the House impeachment inquiry until she establishes more “transparent and equitable rules and procedures.”
The letter is the latest attempt by Republicans to call into question the legitimacy of the impeachment inquiry that Pelosi announced last week. Republicans and Democrats disagree on the need for a full House vote to open an impeachment inquiry, with Republicans insisting that a vote is required and Pelosi and her caucus saying it isn't.
In his letter, McCarthy posed several questions to Pelosi, including whether she intends “to hold a vote of the full House authorizing your impeachment inquiry” and whether she plans to grant"co-equal subpoena power" to the ranking Republicans as well as Democratic chairmen of key committees.
