Republican President Donald Trump slammed the impeachment inquiry against him—spearheaded by House Democrats with little GOP support—as a “no due process scam” on Nov. 12, a day before public impeachment hearings are due to start.
“Why is such a focus put on 2nd and 3rd hand witnesses, many of whom are Never Trumpers, or whose lawyers are Never Trumpers, when all you have to do is read the phone call (transcript) with the Ukrainian President and see first hand?” Trump said in a statement.
