The White House has hit back at lawmakers after President Donald Trump was impeached, slamming the “illegitimate articles of impeachment” and voicing confidence the president would be acquitted in the Senate.
“Democrats have chosen to proceed on this partisan basis in spite of the fact that the President did absolutely nothing wrong,” spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement, calling the votes in the House of Representatives an “unconstitutional travesty”.
Grisham said that there were no fact witnesses in the hearing and alleged bias by the Democrats.
“The President is confident the Senate will restore regular order, fairness, and due process, all of which were ignored in the House proceedings.
”He is prepared for the next steps and confident that he will be fully exonerated,” the statement said, referring to the upcoming trial in the upper chamber, dpa/NAN reported.
It’s ‘impeachment-lite’ says Trump
The president insists he’s having a great time on stage despite the news of his impeachment.
“I’m the first person to ever get impeached and there’s no crime,” he tells the Michigan crowd. “It’s impeachment-lite.
“With Richard Nixon, I just see it as a very dark era. I don’t know about you, but I’m having a great time. It’s crazy.”
He says Democrats have “cheapened the impeachment process”.
“This is a sacred position,” he says of the presidency. “Anybody that becomes president, they could have a phone call and they get impeached.”
It’s “exactly what the Founding Fathers didn’t want”, he adds.
In November, America will “turn up to vote Pelosi the hell out of office” he adds
