House Democratic leaders are quietly panicking over rumors that ‘more than two’ Democrats will bail on impeaching President Trump, according to the Washington Post, citing ‘multiple officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk frankly.’ The paper described House Leader Nancy Pelosi’s anguish over defections as "quiet hand-wringing."
Two senior Democratic aides said the total could be as many as a half-dozen, while a third said the number could be higher.
