Trump told Fox and Friends this morning that if the House did vote to impeach him, he would welcome a trial in the Senate.

Image: Patrick Semansky/AP/Press Association Images US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump has said he doesn’t expect to be impeached, claiming Democrats have “absolutely nothing” incriminating on him.

“I think it’s very hard to impeach you when they have absolutely nothing,” he said, adding that he was only holding back aid to root out corruption in Ukraine.“We wanted to call the whistleblower. You know who I want as the first witness, frankly, I want a trial.

Trump’s 25 July call with Ukraine’s president is at the centre of the House impeachment probe but Trump says, “There was no quid pro quo,” contradicting testimony by impeachment witnesses. They must first decide whether to begin drafting articles of impeachment based on what has been revealed to this point or to launch a long-shot bid for testimony from additional witnesses who could provide more direct evidence of Mr Trump’s actions.

In a pointed moment in Thursday’s testimony, former White House national security official Fiona Hill said she believes “those who have information that the Congress deems relevant have a legal and moral obligation to provide it”.

Not if Schiff has his way.

He doesn’t have to want it or not want it. If they impeach, he will be tried. He’s a moron.
