House judiciary committee Jerry Nadler criticized his Republican colleagues’ remarks on the floor, saying he has heard them say everything “except a defense of President Trump’s conduct, which is indefensible.”
Nadler then turned the floor over to congressman Ted Deutch of Florida. There is still more than five hours of debate left to go.
Moments after the White House claimed Trump would be “working all day” and would only catch “some” of the impeachment debate, the president again tweeted about the proceedings, accusing Democrats of executing an “ASSAULT ON AMERICA.”
SUCH ATROCIOUS LIES BY THE RADICAL LEFT, DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS. THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA, AND AN ASSAULT ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!
So far today, President Trump has tweeted at least 45 times – about impeachment, Ukraine, Pelosi, Schiff, Comey, FISA/Carter Page, Joe Biden, the DOJ IG’s report, and more. He’s been repeatedly retweeting and quoting allies who have backed him throughout the impeachment process.
