"The president used his authority, and his office, to wage a relentless and misleading public campaign to attack the impeachment inquiry. The president spent time at rallies, at press conferences, and on Twitter, trying to persuade the American people that the House's inquiry was invalid and fraudulent. Here are just a few of the President Trump's comments about the impeachment inquiry. He called it a 'witch hunt'; a 'coup'; an 'unconstitutional power grab'; a 'fraud against the American people.' He said, 'It's the phony impeachment scam'; 'the phony impeachment hoax'; 'the Ukraine hoax'; and 'a continuation of the greatest scam and witch hunt in the history of our country.' And those are probably some of the ones I can repeat here. And it didn't stop."
