President Donald Trump railed against Democrats as members of the House debated whether to impeach him.
The president steadily tweeted and re-tweeted at least two dozen times by 1 p.m., decrying the"SUCH ATROCIOUS LIES BY THE RADICAL LEFT, DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS. THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA, AND AN ASSAULT ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!," he tweeted.
“In the end here, nothing happened,” Trump said in one tweet. “We don’t approach anything like the egregious conduct that should be necessary before a President should be removed from office.” The president also attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who earlier opened the debate floor invoking the nation's founders and telling members of the House that Trump"gave us no choice.”White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said earlier Wednesday the president would be"working all day," but may catch"some of the proceedings between meetings."
