After an hours-long phone call earlier Friday with the entire Democratic caucus, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a new statement is walking a fine line on next steps and remaining noncommittal on moving forward with impeachment.
Pelosi said it's still Democrats' hope that Trump will "immediately resign."
"But if he does not, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with Congressman Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment. Accordingly, the House will preserve every option – including the 25th Amendment, a motion to impeach or a privileged resolution for impeachment," she said in the statement.
This comes after nearly 160 Democrats have signed on to legislation in support of a single article of impeachment against the president -- which it is expected that they still plan to introduce as early as Monday -- but Pelosi does not definitively say she will support it or that the chamber will move forward with impeachment.

“As President Trump said yesterday, this is a time for healing and unity as one Nation. A politically motivated impeachment against a President, who has done a great job, with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country," the statement read.
