Trump continued, “This guy, he said, he said, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump. What the hell did I do?”

“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy. His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.” he added.
