On the day before 2020, President Trump ripped into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Twitter, saying the California Democrat is “all lies” and “the most overrated person [he] knows.”
“Remember when Pelosi was screaming that President Trump is a danger to our nation and we must move quickly,” the president tweeted. “They didn’t get one Republican House vote, and lost 3 Dems. They produced no case so now she doesn’t want to go to the Senate. She’s all lies. Most overrated person I know!”

Trump was impeached on two articles, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, by the House of Representatives in early December, but Pelosi has yet to send the documents to the Senate for a trial.
After Democrats ran the impeachment process in the House, Pelosi suggested she would wait to send the articles to the Senate until Republicans agree to terms set by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The president has demanded an “immediate” trial in the Senate where he will be afforded defense attorneys and the ability to call witnesses. Former Vice President Joe Biden stated he would not comply with a prospective subpoena in the Senate trial, but backtracked days later.
