One hour after House Democrats announced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, he defended himself, accusing Democrats of corruption and again claiming they’re involved in a biased “witch hunt.”

Trump described House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as a “totally corrupt politician” after Schiff laid out the case against Trump in a Tuesday morning press conference. The president noted that Schiff read out a made-up phone call after the inquiry was initially launched, before having to apologize for the deception.
