Trump says he would like to have Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton testify in the impeachment trial, but said it could pose a national security risk reutersdavos wef20

DAVOS, Switzerland - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would prefer a longer impeachment trial so that current and former top administration officials could testify, but that having them appear would present national security concerns.

“The problem with John is that it’s a national security problem,” Trump said before returning to Washington, where opening arguments were set to begin in the historic proceedings. “You could call it presidential prerogative,” Trump said. “The way I look at it, I call it national security, for national security reasons. Executive privilege.”

Sure, because unlike Trump, they don’t know how to restrain themselves from spouting off about everything.

Bulls&!¥! He’s a wimp.

Rubbish!

Suuuuuuuurrrrrrreeeee. Trump is the national security risk

realDonaldTrump Classic Trump: Bait everyone with his false narrative and then bar the same under false national security interests. This guy is a bozo.

Their taxes are being audited too?

realDonaldTrump speaking = 💩💩💩 haveabanana

lol

Walee caduur dhaw dhawdu uma dhaadhacsana !duqa arinkiisa waa dinaaxiyee ciyay !

Thoughts? You mean thought...and that’s dating Ivanka

BS!!

Their testimony would pose a national security risk, says Trump. Let's all respond together--'That's complete and utter BS.' Trump spews nonsense 24/7. Impeachment

quite, especially since one of them is a disgruntled employee.

Well, in one sense he's right, they are, or have been, a risk to national security. Not unlike Trump, who is a walking hazard. However, with respect to testifying, I'm sure they can avoid spilling classified info. Just confirm, or deny, what Trump has already stated.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Gaslighting endlessly on and on and on

👊

Trump is so full of him self, all bullshit and no action. I dare IMPOTUS to ask MoscowMitchMcConnell to have Bolton and Pompeo appear as witnesses during the senate trial, I dare you!!! We know it won't happen that way because Trump knows they would have to tell the truth.

Despicable Don now wants Beavis and Butthead to testify!! Yeah right.

He's absolutely right

He says this knowing that Russia, aka the NRA, aka the GOP won’t let it happen.

It is a scam to start with and should be thrown out along with schifty

You're a national security risk.

Donald John Trump is a lying sack

Oooh really 🤔

Bs- !!!!!!!!!!

A national security risk? Hahahahaha Damn.

Bullshit it would simply prove his guilt. He just confessed to obstruction before the World. His arrogance is appalling and the cowardice of all Republicans is on display as is their shame.

ASK PRES TRUMP TO SPEAK AT THIS IMPEACHMENT. TO LET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HEAR IT FROM HIM. TO SPEAK OUT TO SHOW AMERICAN PEOPLE HE IS NOT GUILTY, HE'S NOT HIDING!!!!!!!!

The traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

He is full of it and you all just sit there and listen.

Sure. Right.

No more of a NatSec risk than having Kushner with a clearance, or no more than aNatSec risk as having Donald Trump as POTUS... So with that in regard... I'm for it.

Trump is a much bigger national security risk!

Bitch please!🤣🤦‍♀️

Your the only security risk How many times did you out classified info on our military

No one believes this, not even ignorant Fox viewers. Maybe those faux commando types that marched in Richmond, but that's it.

Trump is as crazy as you can get

Lol , he could use his sharpie when he fears for our safety!

That asshole is lying.

In comparison to D Trump

ICallBS

realDonaldTrump & the GOP are our gravest 'National Security Risk' in a generation!!!

I call BS...

Well he’s right. It would expose that Trump IS the national security threat.

He wasn’t saying that shit a couple weeks ago.

He's CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!

If Mr. Trump wishes to speak, why doesn't he speak under oath at his trial?

What a Joke... Like is this guy for real, this is the Best America has to offer?

TRUMP AFFIRMS, THE TRUE 'AMERICAN DREAM' IS TO HAVE A LITTLE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE, THIS ALLOWS THE 'PRIVILEGE' OF BEING THROUGH THE NORTH AMERICAN LAWS,

Seriously The only thing that comes out of your mouth is BS !!!

Alright senatemajldr: Trump says he's OK with witnesses. Let's do it.

How to Watch the Senate Impeachment Trial of President TrumpDemocrats rejected McConnell's timeline for the trial as an effort to “conceal the President’s misconduct in the dark of night,” a literal description if the first week of the trial goes until one in the morning media: 'Oh that bad man!! What bad thing did he do now!! Oh dear oh me oh my!!' JuddApatow This will backfire. People will stay up. There are some typos in the article. It’s “Pam Bondi.” Also, Schumer is the Minority leader, not Majority leader, unfortunately.
