The House is set to vote on Wednesday on two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of his office and obstruction of Congress.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shut down President Donald Trump's attempts to discredit impeachment proceedings, saying on Monday that"the president is not a lawyer," CNN reported.

On Wednesday, the House of Representatives is expected to pass two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of his office, and obstruction of Congress. In recent days, Trump has embarked on multiple Twitter tirades to defend himself against the charges and accuse House Democrats of subjecting him to an unfair and illegitimate"witch hunt."

"It's a scam. It's something that shouldn't be allowed, and it's a very bad thing for our country," he said."You're trivializing impeachment. And I tell you what, someday there will be a Democrat president and there will a Republican House, and I suspect they're going to remember it."
