President Trump urged House Democrats to impeach him quickly so that he can reveal “how corrupt our system is.”
Trump said Thursday morning that he would get a “fair trial” in the Republican-controlled Senate if the House votes to impeach him. He also said that political figures in the Democratic Party would be called to testify.
“The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House. They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country. But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy,” he said. “Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business.”
Trump added, “We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is. I was elected to ‘Clean the Swamp,’ and that’s what I am doing!”

With about a dozen legislative days left until Congress recesses, House Democrats are considering whether to vote on impeachment before the new year. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to hold a press conference at 9 a.m. on Thursday to discuss the status of the impeachment effort.
The move comes a day after college professors were called in to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the legal basis for impeachment.
