Nancy Pelosi listened and took notes as House Democrats from competitive districts voiced concerns about how to handle the impeachment inquiry into President Trump

Swing district House Democrats are seeking more help from leadership on how to handle the impeachment drive as they enter the most perilous stretch of their brief congressional careers.

“I’m in a district where I think I’ve been reluctant to move forward only from the perspective of, I want to be disciplined, I want to look at due process, and I want to make sure we have all of our facts. And this inquiry will allow us to do that,” Craig added. “And I’m very supportive of Adam Schiff and what he and his committee [are doing].”

The complaint, which was released publicly Thursday morning, states that senior White House officials were “deeply disturbed” by Trump’s bid to pressure Zelensky and that aides tried to “lock down” records of the phone call. Pelosi, who called the meeting, pitched it as a listening session with her and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn . Several lawmakers described it as largely a question-and-answer session after weeks of privately fretting about the caucus’ lack of direction and disunity on impeachment.

Vulnerable Democrats, particularly freshmen, were dismayed by the party’s handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and were eager to change course as the focus shifted to the Ukraine episode.
