A day before the next public hearing in the impeachment inquiry into how he and his administration handled military aid to Ukraine, President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he could direct top administration officials to testify in a possible Senate trial.
“I would love to have Mike Pompeo and Mick and I would love to have Rick Perry, and many other people testify. But I don't want them to testify when this is a total fix. You know what a fix is? It's a fix. Just think of it,” Trump said, referring to the ongoing process in the House of Representatives.
Trump also used some of his strongest language yet in attacking the Democrat who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, calling him"deranged" and a"maniac," accusing him of twisting his words when Schiff read an interpretation of the transcript of the July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy.
The president said Republicans would want former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to testify.
It will be a lovely article of impeachment.
Doubt it. Lying again.
So the senate is going to be run by the executive branch.... What the fuck is separate powers for again?
Didn’t know anyone testifying is on trial. I guess I missed something.
If you and your cronies are innocent why does it matter where anyone testifies?
They’re not on trial (yet) but it would be the same - either they will answer questions or they won’t. I thought Roberts would be running it, so they wouldn’t exactly get special treatment.
Only because there will be a judge presiding over the trial making that decision
He’ll change his mind.
Look at this! Please, don’t embarrass us; everybody is watching you. You look silly when you say something that’s not true. Don’t take anymore questions.
Ummm.... THEY aren’t the ones on trial 🤦♀️
What a liar he has nothing to hide why not ?
I want them to testify under oath. So if they lie they can go to jail, where they belong.
I do not know why you report ANYTHING he says or says he's going to do. Trump turns the news into his own propaganda and you all just go along with it. If Trump said ABC News was declaring bankruptcy, would you start looking for a job immediately or wait for a real source?
How can we allow a madman to change the rules of the game in our country.
Trump a liar
They'll plead the 5th except when GOP asks the perfect questions. Get Rudy to testify
if they refuse to testify, they pay the price not DonTheCon
Can Twitter-land help me out on this: Is the impeachment inquiry a legal proceeding? I believe it is but I want to be sure before my next comment.
All Trump’s officials are cowards.
The witnesses are not going to be on trial....you are.
omg he is so lying how was it not fair the republicans were there omg this man just dont stop its unreal
I have had it with republican party and the party of gaslighting and lies FK trump and anyone dumb enough to support this
So be it, regardless the American people has the right to hear EVERYBODYS' testimony
