President Donald Trump has once again blasted his impeachment, saying it’s a waste of time and "not what the Founders had in mind," in a tweet on Monday.
"Congress & the President should not be wasting their time and energy on a continuation of the totally partisan Impeachment Hoax when we have so many important matters pending,” Trump wrote in a tweet Monday morning. “196 to ZERO was the Republican House vote, & we got 3 Dems. This was not what the Founders had in mind!”
He said earlier: “The Impeachment Hoax, just a continuation of the Witch Hunt which started even before I won the Election, must end quickly. Read the Transcripts, see the Ukrainian President’s strong statement, NO PRESSURE - get this done. It is a con game by the Dems to help with the Election!"
Although the House passed two articles of impeachment in December, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has held off on sending the articles to the Senate until the two parties can agree on rules for the impeachment trial.
