President Trump predicted 2020 will be a great year for the United States as he entered a New Year’s Eve party at his Palm Beach, Fla. resort Mar-a-Lago. At a press conference Tuesday night, Trump weighed in on the U.S. embassy attack in Baghdad, impeachment, and more.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The impeachment thing is a hoax. It’s a big fat hoax. We had 196-0 with Republicans, we had 3 Democrats come over, 1 actually joined our party as you know…
We did nothing wrong. Read the transcripts. Or you could also do something else, you could go and speak to the president of Ukraine. The president of Ukraine said loudly and boldly, and I appreciate his statement, he said many times there was no pressure…
We have tremendous Republican support. What the Democrats did in the House was a disgrace. What they did, how unfair it was, we didn’t get lawyers, we didn’t have witnesses, we didn’t do anything and still, we got 100% of the Republican votes and it was bipartisan because we got three Democrats. I think the impeachment thing, I call it ‘Impeachment-lite.’ It’s a disgrace. And Nancy Pelosi should be ashamed of herself. She is a highly overrated person. I know her well. She is highly overrated…
As far as I’m concerned I’d be happy with a trial because we did nothing wrong. We didn’t even have a witness and we won 196-0. We didn’t even have a witness. That was all the Democrats’ witnesses.
Adam Schiff is a corrupt politician. He is corrupt. He got up, made a speech, said something I never said and when I release the transcript, which is absolutely a perfect, totally appropriate conversation with a very good man, a very good president, I hear he’s doing a great job, but a big reason he got elected was corruption. There’s tremendous corruption.
