President Trump lashes out at Democrats in angry letter to Nancy Pelosi over impeachment, calling them 'deranged' and 'spiteful'
expected this week in the House as “spiteful” and “terrible” in a rambling, six-page letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday.. Minutes later, in an appearance in the Oval Office, he echoed many of those same points and said he feels “zero” responsibility for his expected impeachment.
Trump said he prepared the letter for “the purpose of history and to put my thoughts on a permanent and indelible record.” The White House released the document asof debate on an impeachment vote in the House that could come as soon as Wednesday. House Democrats are expected to approve that vote, making Trump only the third president impeached in U.S. history.
"More due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials," he wrote at one point, though he did not acknowledge that Democrats had repeatedly afforded his lawyers an opportunity to take part.Democrats control the House with a large enough majority to impeach Trump even if a few members vote no. The chamber has 233 Democrats, 197 Republicans and an independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, who is expected to support impeachment. Four seats are vacant.
Trump accused Democrats of some of the very charges brought against him in the formal impeachment proceedings.
