Trump Finally Breaks Silence On Impeachment Move

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called preparations to impeach him in US Congress “absolutely ridiculous” and said they were causing “tremendous anger.”

Trump, speaking as he boarded Marine One at the White House for a trip to Texas, called his likely impeachment in the House of Representatives on Wednesday a “continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics.”

His trip to Alamo, Texas, where he will tout claims of success in building a US -Mexican border wall, is his first live public appearance since he rallied thousands of followers on the National Mall to march on Congress.

Although this is not the same Alamo as the famous fortress in another part of Texas, the trip marks something of a last stand for the Republican.

Ever since the November 3 election, the real estate tycoon has been obsessively pushing a lie that he, not Democrat Joe Biden, was the real winner and last week, in a speech he described Tuesday as “totally appropriate,” he called on the huge crowd to ” show strength .”

Amped up on Trump’s rhetoric, the mob burst into Congress, fighting with police, trashing offices and forcing frightened lawmakers to suspend briefly a ceremony legally formalizing Biden’s victory.
