Trump suggests Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason amid impeachment inquiry
Date: Oct 07 2019
- President Donald Trump on Sunday night launched an attack against Democrats who are pursuing an impeachment inquiry against him.
- In a pair of tweets on Sunday, Trump suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, were both guilty of treason.
- Pelosi announced last month that the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump’s activities — in particular, a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which is at the center of a whistleblower complaint filed in August.
- Trump has denied that he said anything inappropriate during his phone call with Zelensky, and he suggested in a closed-door meeting last month that the whistleblower is “almost a spy.”
