President of United States Donald Trump said on November 18 that he will 'strongly consider' testifying in writing as a part of the official impeachment inquiry at the start of next week. The upcoming week will include public testimonies of eight current and former officials regarding President Trump's controversial call with Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
Recently, Trump took to Twitter to express his views regarding Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suggestion she made over the weekend. President Trump also went on to say that Speaker Pelosi has 'rigged the rules of the inquiry and again denies any wrongdoing while democrats still regard President Trump's actions as 'betrayal to the constitution'. The US President also says that he does not wish to 'give credibility' to the entire process which Republics call a 'sham' and 'hoax'.
Our Crazy, Do Nothing (where’s USMCA, infrastructure, lower drug pricing & much more?) Speaker of the House, Nervous Nancy Pelosi, who is petrified by her Radical Left knowing she will soon be gone (they & Fake News Media are her BOSS), suggested on Sunday’s DEFACE THE NATION....

....that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!

'Defend our Democracy'
Speaker Nancy Pelosi who initially launched the impeachment inquiry on September 25 followed by a complaint of a whistleblower about the US President pressuring the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to initiate an investigation into former Vice President, Joe Biden's son. In the recent turn of events, the closed-door impeachment inquiry has been televised for the citizens to know the testimonies of senior White House officials. According to the Speaker of House of Representatives, the witnesses summoned by the court last week have confirmed that President Trump had traded away national interests in order to defend his own interests.
