House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would like to see President Trump “in prison” during a contentious meeting with senior Democrats over whether to launch impeachment proceedings, a report said.

“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to the paper.

A spokeswoman for Pelosi told The Post the speaker & the chairman “had a productive meeting about the state of play with the Mueller report.”

“They agreed to keep all options on the table & continue to move forward with an aggressive hearing & legislative strategy, as early as next week, to address the president’s corruption & abuses of power uncovered in the report,” the spokeswoman, Ashley Etienne, said.

Nadler has been outspoken about his intention to start & inquiry into whether Trump’s conduct warrants impeachment proceedings.

“We are investigating all of the things we would investigate, frankly, in an impeachment inquiry,” Nadler told CNN on Tuesday.

Nadler paused however when asked if he & Pelosi were “on the same page.”
