WASHINGTON - Republicans prepared to defend their expected acquittal of US President Donald Trump, on Sunday's TV talk shows after their Senate votes to reject witness testimony at his impeachment trial sparked criticism that they were aiding a cover-up and abdicating their duties.
His assertion, made on Twitter, came with Washington also awaiting the results of Monday's all-important Iowa caucuses. "Trump poll numbers are the highest since election, despite constant phony Witch Hunts!" the President tweeted on Saturday from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Ms Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, which impeached Mr Trump on Dec 18, accused Republicans of being"accomplices to the President's cover-up".
The administration's Office of Management and Budget said in a court filing that it"has redacted portions of 24 documents pursuant to the Presidential Communications Privilege", according to US media.
Politics is always complicated, darkness and red-tape. Full transparency? No way.. 😬. God bless 🇺🇸 🙏
And if he's acquitted,he's entitled to 2 more full terms in office if he's voted back in,as his first 4 year term is not counted anymore.
