US President Donald Trump has called for an investigation into the circumstances of his so-called 2019 Ukrainian impeachment. He wrote about this on his own social network, Truth Social.
“The Ukrainian impeachment (as far as I’m concerned!) was a much larger and more illegal hoax than Watergate. I hope the appropriate authorities, including Congress, investigate this,” Trump wrote.
He also called then-Deputy Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff “dishonest and corrupt.”
By “Ukrainian impeachment,” Trump means the attempt to remove him from office during his first term in 2019. Democrats then accused him of pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call to investigate the activities of his rival in the election, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter, in Ukraine.
The House of Representatives then voted to impeach him, but the Senate, where Republicans had a majority, acquitted Trump.
