White House calls impeachment vote ‘desperate charade’
Saturday 14/December/2019 - 12:59 PM
The White House on Friday described a vote by
lawmakers setting up President Donald Trump’s likely impeachment next week as a
“desperate charade.”
Trump’s press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a
statement that the Judiciary Committee’s debate on approving two articles of
impeachment “has reached its shameful end.”
With the Democratic-led committee’s green light, the
full House of Representatives is now likely to vote on two articles of
impeachment by the end of next week.
A trial in the Republican-led Senate will follow.
“The President looks forward to receiving in the
Senate the fair treatment and due process which continues to be disgracefully
denied to him by the House,” Grisham said.
