Trump criticizes Pelosi

Trump lambasted the move to impeach him as “phony" and a “HOAX,” tweeting just as Pelosi was delivering a weekly news conference on Capitol Hill – an indication he may have been watching her remarks.

“Pelosi feels her phony impeachment HOAX is so pathetic she is afraid to present it to the Senate, which can set a date and put this whole SCAM into default if they refuse to show up!” Trump wrote, accusing House Democrats of being a “Do Nothing” party.

“The Do Nothings are so bad for our Country!” Trump wrote.

Trump was reacting to comments made by Pelosi on Wednesday evening — just after the Democrat-controlled House approved articles accusing the president of abusing his power and obstructing Congress almost strictly along party lines — suggesting the House may wait to deliver the articles to the Senate.

Democrats have expressed skepticism that the GOP-controlled Senate would present a fair and impartial trial.
