Trump quotes pastor who predicts ‘civil war like fracture' over impeachment
Donald Trump has raised the spectre of divisions akin to a civil war in the US in the event that he is impeached, in a series of incendiary posts on Twitter.
The president tweeted and reposted several defences of his behaviour on Sunday night and lashed out at the Democratic Party. “Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called 'Whistleblower,' represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way,” the 73-year-old said.“His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber.”
The complaint was triggered by a 25 July phone call between Donald Trump and Volodyyr Zelensky, in which the president appeared to urge the Ukranian leader to investigate Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic frontrunner. During the hearing the spy chief declined to discuss whether he spoke to the president about the complaint in question, saying his conversations with Mr Trump are “executive privilege”.
