President Donald Trump asserted Friday that House Democrats have trivialized impeachment to gain political points after the House Judiciary Committee voted to approve two articles of impeachment against him.
First, Trump repeated the familiar “sham,” “hoax,” and “witch hunt” claims about the process and said he didn’t watch the vote because he was finalizing a new trade deal with China. “We’re dealing with a lot of corrupt people. There was nothing done wrong. To use the power of impeachment on this nonsense is an embarrassment to this country,” Trump added.
