Trump: 'I will do whatever I want' during Senate impeachment trial by writerknowles
“I’ll do whatever I want. Look, there is — we did nothing wrong,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “So I’ll do long or short. I’ve heard Mitch [McConnell], I’ve heard Lindsey [Graham]. I think they are very much in agreement on some concept. I’ll do whatever they want to do, it doesn’t matter.
“Everything I do during [the impeachment process], I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” McConnell said. “There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position, as to how to handle this.” While Trump railed against the Democrats who support impeachment, saying they “made absolute fools out of themselves,” he reserved special ire for the government whistleblower who filed a formal complaint about his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, sparking the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.
