Trump hits Senate for giving impeachment 'credibility' by holding trial
By John Bowden - 01/12/20 03:26 PM EST
President Trump on Sunday tweeted that Republicans risked lending credibility to the impeachment inquiry brought by the House by holding a trial in the Senate.
The president said any proceedings in the Senate would be based on "no evidence" and appeared to urge Senate Republicans to reject the idea of holding a trial at all.
"Many believe that by the Senate giving credence to a trial based on the no evidence, no crime, read the transcripts, 'no pressure' Impeachment Hoax, rather than an outright dismissal, it gives the partisan Democrat Witch Hunt credibility that it otherwise does not have. I agree!" Trump tweeted.
