President Donald Trump teed off on the Democratic impeachment effort Friday, claiming Americans are 'disgusted' and showing no evidence of being constrained by the effort to move ahead with his potential removal from office.

'The people are disgusted,' the president said, soon after the House Judiciary voted out two articles against him. He called the impeachment a 'scam' – even as he said it had a political upside for himself.

'It's a very sad thing for our country but it seems to be very good for me politically ... The polls have gone through the roof for Trump,' Trump said.

'This has been a wild week,' the president said. 'It's a witch hunt, it's a sham, it's a hoax. Nothing was done wrong, zero was done wrong,' he said of his conduct toward Ukraine, which earned him an 'abuse of power' vote in the Democratic-controlled Judiciary panel.
