President Trump is saying he’s willing to sue House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff over the impeachment inquiry. In a speech Saturday, he said his administration would “look into” suing the top Democrats leading the inquiry.
Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry after a whistleblower spoke out about the president’s call with the Ukrainian president. He has been accused of pressuring the foreign government to investigate Joe Biden, one of his political opponents in the upcoming election. President Trump has refuted these accusations and has called the inquiry a “witch hunt.”
During his speech, the president remarked on Pelosi’s flip flopping views regarding impeachment and suggested suing both her and Schiff.
“I said, ‘sue him anyway’ — even if we lose, the American public will understand,” said President Trump. “Maybe, we should just impeach them.”
The president has also said the impeachment inquiry could result in Democrats losing a lot of seats in 2020. In a tweet, he said the American people will recognize the fraudulent use of impeachment. He listed different examples of the process that could raise concerns.
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump“Congressman Adam Schiff, who when seeing the REAL Ukraine phone call Transcript decided he’d better make up one of his own. ‘I’m going to say this only SEVEN times, so you better listen good. I want you to MAKE UP DIRT ON MY POLITICAL OPPONENT, UNDERSTAND, LOTS OF IT, AND.....
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump.....BY THE WAY, DON’T CALL ME AGAIN, I’LL CALL YOU WHEN YOU’VE DONE WHAT I’VE ASKED.’” A reminder, that wasn’t just stupid, it was FALSE.” @greggutfeld @GregGutfeldShow @FoxNews I never said this. Schiff made it up and read it to Congress & the American People. End Witch Hunt!
The president’s attorney Jay Sekulow said he would keep all options on the table for a possible lawsuit.
