Trump Dismisses 3rd Impeachment Threat as Democrats Prepare to Retake Congress

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 9

Summary

  • In his first post-midterm sit-down, Donald Trump said he "can't imagine" Democrats impeaching him a third time when they take Congress in January and argued his first two impeachments ultimately helped him.
  • The comments followed historic Democratic gains in the midterms and fresh calls from some Democrats for investigations and subpoenas targeting members of the Trump administration.
  • Trump also said he could "very easily" strike deals with a Democratic Congress, pointing to his first term, even as he described some longtime adversaries such as Nancy Pelosi and James Comey as people he still "hate[s]."
  • The backdrop is Trump's two House impeachments in his first term—one in 2019 and another after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot—both of which ended in Senate acquittals.
