Shortly after the House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against him, Pres. Trump accused them of 'trivializing' the constitutional process for political gain.

I've heard Mitch, I've heard Lindsey – I think they are very much an agreement on some concept. I’ll do whatever they want to do, it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t mind a long process, because I'd like to see the whistleblower, who's a fraud.”
He went on to criticize, as he often does, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff as “crooked,” “a corrupt politician,” and “a disgrace” – and then mocked U.S. Army Lt. Col.

“Now, had I not had a transcript – I'm lucky we had this transcript, which by the way has now been verified by the lieutenant colonel – lieutenant colonel, OK? He's another beauty.”The president also said he also watched Thursday’s House Judiciary Committee markup session – “I got to see quite a bit of it yesterday” – and that he “watched these Democrats on the committee make fools out of themselves, absolute fools out of themselves.
