President Trump Says He May Give Written Testimony To His Own Impeachment Hearing




Daily Mail: 'I like the idea!' Donald Trump says he might TESTIFY in his own impeachment hearing after Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer dare him to show up or answer questions in writing

* Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed that Donald Trump's actions are worse than disgraced former President Richard Nixon
* She and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dared the president to come to Capitol Hill and testify in his own impeachment inquiry hearings
* Trump responded 'I like the idea' and suggested he could show up or respond to written questions
* Nixon was the subject of an impeachment investigation for obstruction of justice, abuse of power and contempt of Congress and resigned in 1974
* 'At some point, Richard Nixon cared about the country enough to recognize that this could not continue,' Pelosi said in an interview with CBS

Donald Trump appeared to call Nancy Pelosi's bluff on Monday, suggesting after she dared him to testify in an impeachment hearing that he might do it—either in writing or in person.

The president responded to written questions in April from then-special counsel Robert Mueller, but entering statements for the record in an impeachment inquiry would be an unprecedented move in a game with higher stakes.

Pelosi, Trump tweeted, 'suggested ... that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!'

The House Intelligence Committee declined comment on Monday.

WNU Editor: He will not appear before this committee. What he may do is provide a written testimony.

What a Joke this is and it's driving the headlines. What a state of crap we live in; thanks Media for continued posting this crap. If you want to know what's going on read history and view these proceedings from that lens. It's complete Joke.

M.F.
the House holding hearing.
Trump believes he is in the clear
He can appear and clear things up
now why is that a joke? impeachment hearings by the House are hardly a joke.
best guess: He will not appear. Anothe time when he says he might do something but does not do it

CLINTON APPEARED BEFORE THE HOUSE. WHY NOT TRUMP?

Still a joke Lapides and your list is growing longer!

Parrot asks why not Trump.

Why?

1) Because Schiff does not have a formal impeachment.
2) Because after 3_ years this is nothing but harassment.
3) Because if you typed his phones, bugged his offices, and opened his emails and you still do not have him, then this is a witch hunt.
4) Because Democrats have admitted that if they do not impeach him , he will be re-elected, so the reason for the impeachment is political not criminal. The Democrats figure this is the only way to win.

"tapped phones" not "typed phones"

the House is doing what it is both entitled to do and doing it properly.
!. formal impeachment will be forthcoming by year's end
2. has not gone as long as the Nixon impeachment
3. you do not have the right to decide when the time has run out. Fact: there is no legal time period set.
4. polls and other elections, in fact, indicate that his chances are not that great and that answer is simply dumb. Impeachment does not mean removal..that is up to the GOP dominated Senate
