President Donald Trump has written an angry letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying the bid to impeach him is a 'perversion' and he did nothing wrong.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday told the opposition Democrats' leader in Congress that impeachment is an attempted"coup" that is"subverting America's democracy."
Referring to a famous miscarriage of justice in 17th century US history, Mr Trump said he'd been given less rights than"those accused in the Salem Witch Trials."The Democratic-led House is expected to impeach Mr Trump for abuse of office in a vote on Wednesday. He is accused of attempting to use his power to force Ukraine into opening what would have been a damaging probe of one of his main 2020 reelection rivals, Joe Biden.
Asked if he took any responsibility for the crisis, he said:"I don't take any, zero to put it mildly."In the letter, which ended with Mr Trump's usual over-sized signature in thick black pen, he accused Ms Pelosi of being the culprit.
