On a Friday when Donald Trump posted to his Twitter account 48 times, continuing his prolific pace of tweeting throughout the month of December, it was the 34th of those tweets — posted at 10:30 p.m. in the evening EST — that drew perhaps the closest scrutiny. In that Twitter message, Trump appeared to cite Russian President Vladimir Putin for support in Trump’s claim that the investigation that led to his impeachment this week was, in Trump’s words, “A total Witch Hunt!”
Trump made the “Witch Hunt” comment on a retweet of a news story that reported Putin’s defense of Trump in the impeachment case.
In his annual press conference in Moscow a day earlier, Putin charged that the reasons for Trump’s impeachment were “completely fabricated.” Putin also echoed Trump’s often-repeated contention that impeachment represented nothing more than Democrats attempting to overturn the results of the 2016 election.
