Donald Trump Accuses Pelosi Of “Undermining American Democracy”
After three months of tense debate, the American Democrats are preparing to send Donald Trump on trial to Congress mid-week, but the Republican camp unites and then prevents him from being deposed.
Donald Trump accused the leader of the Democrats in Congress, Nancy Pelosi, on Tuesday of “undermining democracy” in a vitriolic letter published in the run-up to his probable dismissal from office for impeachment.
“By pursuing this unfounded indictment,” “you are declaring an open war against American democracy,” wrote the President in a six-page official letter to Nancy Pelosi. “History will judge you severely,” he predicts.
Trump facing two indictments
The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is due to vote this week, possibly as early as Wednesday, on two charges before the commission against Donald Trump: “abuse of power” and “obstructing the smooth running of Congress”.
The first count is “completely deceitful, worthless and a product of your imagination”, continues the tenant of the White House, who is accused of having frozen military aid intended for Kiev in order to force the Ukrainian president to announce an investigation into Joe Biden, one of his potential presidential rivals for 2020.
Resuming the main lines of his defence, Donald Trump reiterates that his exchange with President Volodymyr Zelensky – the summer telephone call which is at the heart of the procedure – was “completely innocent” and that he did not exercise “no pressure” on Kiev. As for the second count, he said it was “absurd and dangerous”.
“An attempted coup”, against Trump
“You are unwilling and unable to accept the verdict issued at the ballot box during the great Election of 2016”, accuses the New York billionaire again, presenting himself as the victim of “phony investigations”, “of vicious crusades” for three years.
Referring to a dark episode in the United States in the 17th century, he believes he was treated less well in the dismissal proceedings “than the defendants in the Salem witch trials”.
For him, the vote in the House is “nothing more than an illegal and partisan coup attempt”. However, he can count on the Republican majority in the Senate, which will be responsible for judging him, to escape dismissal.
