Sen. Ted Cruz weighed in on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's claim that President Trump committed witness intimidation by tweeting at former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch while she was testifying in the House's impeachment proceedings.

"This may be the single most ridiculous claim of the Dem show trial," the Texas Republican tweeted Friday about Schiff's claim. "No, the President’s tweeting is not 'witness intimidation.' You may not like the tone of some or even many of his tweets, but it’s absurd to suggest that tweeting is an impeachable 'high Crime [or] Misdemeanor.'"
