Washington, November 18
US President Donald Trump on Monday said he is “strongly” considering answering a challenge from opposition Democrats to testify in his own impeachment probe.
After the speaker of the lower House, Nancy Pelosi, upped the ante by suggesting that Trump come forward to tell the “truth”, the Republican President said he was keen. Pelosi suggested "that I testify about the phoney Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing,” Trump tweeted.
“Even though I did nothing wrong, and don't like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!” It was unclear what kind of testimony the President had in mind.
His defence team would likely be resistant to the idea of him appearing before the House panel delving into the allegation that Trump pressured Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political rival to help his 2020 reelection chances. — AFP
