As House Democrats are reportedly preparing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on the heels of two weeks of live testimony from a number of witnesses, House Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff dismissed Trump’s notion that he would be called to testify in the U.S. Senate.
According to The Hill, Trump on Saturday tweeted warning to Schiff that should House Democrats send the articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial, the chairman would be “compelled” to testify in what the president labeled an “impeachment hoax.”
“Adam Schiff will be compelled to testify should the Democrats decide, despite the fact that my presidential conversations were totally appropriate (perfect), to go forward with the Impeachment Hoax. Polls have now turned very strongly against Impeachment!” Trump tweeted.
Schiff had a different view of the ongoing situation and made clear his intentions of not testifying during a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of The Union with host Jake Tapper.
