White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is 'not afraid of a fight' in his upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate and is, in fact, eager for witnesses to testify that 'this man did nothing wrong.'

White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is"not afraid of a fight" in his upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate and is, in fact, eager for witnesses to testify that"this man did nothing wrong."

Trump has at times called for witness testimony during his Senate trial, pushing for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and former Vice President Joe Biden to be compelled to testify, while at other times demanding that the Senate immediately dismiss the case against him.

He continued: “We are not afraid of a fight. We are prepared and whether this thing goes to a full trial, whether it's modified or whether it's just dismissed out of hand for the sham illegitimate scam it has become, we will be ready.” But other Senate Republicans, like Rand Paul , have warned their colleagues that voting to have Bolton testify in the trial is not enough, and that they may force votes on calling former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who are at the center of the charges against Trump.

Tell hoagie to bring along the whoopsie-daisy truth tellers like Rudy & Mulvaney. It would be like a 3 Stooges reunion show.

Because they will all probably lie

Yeah, the problem is that there are no witnesses who can give that testimony, because “this man” is guilty as hell.

Then bring on all the papers out of secret place and all the people that was blocked from the start

I hope we hear from RepAdamSchiff whistleblower.

Oh yes he did! Something very bad!

hogangidley45 helps realDonaldTrump make a mockery of our nation by siding w/Putin, KimJongUn, MohammedBinSalman over America, torturing immigrant children, targeting racism other Americans, committing ObstructionOfJustice, defiling our Constitution & laws.

Couple of points, Hogan: Remember, 1) anyone who testifies will be under oath & subject to Federal Law regarding false testimony & 2) you should always wear socks with a tuxedo. ImpeachAndRemove WhatNotToWear

Need FACTS, not opinions. Where is the exculpatory evidence? Docements? Talk is cheap. And often incorrect. Especially in the administration. facts ImpeachedNowRemove STFU

This guy is the perfect Trump spokesperson. He lies just like Trump.

Sounds like a deal to me!

Another liar

Bring it. We're going to vote coup plotting traitor DemocRATs out of office!

Hysterical spin to what he is definitely dreading

He said that? With a straight face

LIES.

they would be lying

Then stop fighting it and produce them!

That would likely be perjury if they made statements like that under oath.

Hahahahahaha

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid!!!!! Here’s our POTUS IMPOTUS DerangedDonald ImpeachedForLife

If he is so eager why say he would block Bolton. He is guilty, he is a coward, he is full of hot air and lies

dear_black_girl Ah, so realDonaldTrump is all for trial witnesses if they testify in his favor but against them if they don’t That’s not American Justice, that’s Russian Justice PutinsPuppet AgentOrange ImpeachedForLife

Diddley Gidley can’t get his facts straight. It doesn’t snow when it’s 70F.

Denial is more than a river in Egypt 🧐

Oooops! This 'moonwalk' here suggests that there will be witnesses after all [providing some cover for them], unless the Senate decides not; then it will be all up to them, since it is clear the President has no objection, unless he does later.

He should be.

Everyone but senatemajldr is eager for witnesses

Really?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What can they offer then the transcript & Volker saying “ I want nothing, I want Zelinsky to do what he ran on .” After that what else can they say. Case dismissed.

Talk about deaf, dumb & blind

Coming from so much false information from this Administration I cant believe this spokesman. Sad

It's laughable that they think there'll be a fight. McConnell just recently declared he had the votes to dismiss the articles (and with it the constitution) without trial. They're spineless for Trump, this GOP is, so, like, what fight

President eager for witnesses to testify. President not eager for witnesses to testify. President eager for witnesses to testify. President not eager for witnesses to testify. Back and forth.Back and forth.Back and forth.Back and forth. President eager for witnesses to testify.

Let's get the Biden's under oath! lethunterspeak

More b.s. spewing out of the office, or does this mean Bolton, Mnuchin and everyone else will available for testimony under oath. Some how I doubt it.......

realDonaldTrump is hungry to hear only what details he told the witnesses to discuss. We demand the whole truth.

How much would he pay them...

...and please please let Rudy represent him

In other words, “lie”

Hmmm....just a sec: 'President is in fact eager for witnesses to testify 'that this man did nothing wrong.'' I see what you did there. HogansHeroes

Now, there's a line of BS.

girlpowernow1 Can't wait for hogangidley45 to roll that comment back by dinner!

BS. Is that why he has prevented documents and witnesses?

Great, coordinate that with Moscow Mitch and let's get on with it.

The thing is, we’re only interested in testimony from first-hand witnesses to the calls made to Ukraine and we already know those witnesses will not say Trump did nothing wrong without committing perjury and risking incarceration.

hogangidley45 oh yeah SOOOO eager he wanted the impeachment DISMISSED and no trial.

So what's the difference between a WH spokesman and a WH press secretary? Why are U.S. citizens paying 4 people (including Conway & Scavino) to speak for Trump?

Either brainwashed or scared of Trump.

Sir Topham Hair

Yet, Trump said he would invoke executive privilege to prevent witnesses who work or previously worked in his administration from testifying. Decide what you want to do, Trump! You can't have it both ways. CrookedTrump

Ridley lost the minutest of credibility he had.

Good! Bring on the witnesses!

Good.....let's start with Bolton.

So call all of the witnesses

Have Trump testify like all other presidents if his not guilty

That’s what they keep screaming; just over the weekend trump screamed that he wanted the Senate to dismiss the charges! trump stated that this was all a hoax; didn’t want to add credibility to the hoax🤔 I need a score card to keep up with his lies😔

There is a deputy press secretary?

He could have had them testify in the House and we wouldn't be here right now. He would have already been vindicated. Covering up a cover up is a messy thing.🙉🤣

WhiteHouse we call BS

Official Trump Lie 5,359. Number 5,360 will come in a few hours: 'I never said that! Fake News!!' Deplorables will cheer.

stop with the FAKE bull shit tweets

😂😂😂Ler’s see. Watch the feet, not the mouth - or in this case, fingers. ImpeachedForLife ImpeachmentTrial

Who? We have a deputy press secretary? How much do we pay him Jesus H Christ.

He's 'Not afraid' because he realizes that ~40% of the electorate are using him as a tool to push their agenda and will continue to ignore how blatantly corrupt and inept he is to ensure their agenda gets accomplished.

White House wants Senate trial rules to include ability to dismiss Trump chargesThe White House is urging Senate Republicans to preserve the option of moving to swiftly dismiss the charges against President Donald Trump after opening arguments in his impeachment trial, as GOP leaders and Trump's team look for a quick end to the proceedings, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Moscow Mitch wouldn't allow the replacement of SCOTUS judge when there was only 11 months left in Obama's term. Why won't he block an impeachment trial when there is less than 10 months left to an election in which T-RUmp will be a candidate? When the HELL did we expect nothing less by the GOP Theses worthless criminals would betray their own flesh & blood....4 MONEY!!! Time we recognized it and made changes for the sake of our families....we owe it stand for reality Decision based on fact they have no defence & that trump wants to scream exoneration which only the uneducated & ignorant will believe. Very sad country it’s becoming!
