President Donald Trump spent much of Wednesday -- as House of Representatives debated whether to impeach him -- hunkered down in the White House before traveling to Michigan for a campaign rally.
Minutes earlier, the White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, had said that Trump was"working all day" and was holding"meetings," although White House officials repeatedly declined to say what the topics of the meetings were or with whom Trump was meeting, other than confirming that he still planned to receiving an intelligence briefing as scheduled.
The White House said he would depart at 4:25 p.m., after hours of debate on the House floor; he often speaks to reporters as he leaves. "Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG!" he wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning."A terrible Thing," he said.
While the president did not want to be impeached, the aide said, he was comfortable sparring with Democrats and planned to claim full and total vindication if the Senate votes against removing him from office in any coming trial.
