'It is time for impeachment now.' At a New Hampshire campaign event, Elizabeth Warren says she's 'glad to see the House has stepped up, and I hope we do this and I hope we do it quickly.'
President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued to dismiss the political firestorm over his phone call this summer with Ukraine's leader as"a big hoax," insisting he"didn't threaten anybody" and accusing Democrats of threatening to cut assistance to Ukraine much as they have accused him of doing.
"They threatened him if he didn’t do things," Trump said about Democratic senators he said went to Ukraine to"force" the new government to do what they wanted.Trump also addressed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing Tuesday that Democrats would move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry. "I thought we won. I thought it was dead," Trump said, referring to the Mueller investigation when asked if he is bracing for a long impeachment process.
Earlier, at a United Nations photo-op, Trump told reporters,"There was no pressure. The way you had it built up, that call, it was going to be the call from hell." "In other words, no pressure," Trump quickly added."Because you know what there was no pressure. And you know there was no pressure, all you have to do is see it, what went on in the call."
"It turned out to be a nothing call other than a lot of people said at the morning UN photo-op. 'I never knew you could be so nice,'" Trump said.
