President Trump rips into Dems for scheduling an impeachment hearing during his trip abroad for NATO
President Donald Trump on Monday blasted House Democrats for scheduling an impeachment hearing this week during his trip abroad, echoing a recent line of attack by the White House’s top lawyer against the rapidly escalating inquiry.
While Trump takes part on Tuesday and Wednesday in this year’s NATO summit, the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will hold its first impeachment hearing since the conclusion of the probe’s public testimony before the House Intelligence Committee last month.the Judiciary panel Sunday that it would not participate in the hearing, arguing that “an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the president with any semblance of a fair process.
Trump’s top diplomat asserted there exists a “long tradition that we support presidents when they travel overseas to do their work,” and admonished Democratic lawmakers’ decision “to hold hearings back here in Washington to distract America's president from his important mission” in the United Kingdom.
