President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause.
“When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” Trump said.
“Because they said, ‘Wait a minute, this is much different than [what Adam Schiff] told us.’ ”.
When asked about the impeachment trial, Trump initially spoke about what he usually refers to as the “perfect call” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In that phone conversation, on July 25, 2019, Trump reportedly asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens eight times.
The Trump administration has exerted executive privilege while ignoring subpoenas for documents and have directed individuals not to respond to subpoena requests since the beginning of the impeachment process.
For comparison, the Clinton administration turned over more than 90,000 pages of documents and material during its impeachment. »
