The impeachment inquiry is barely a week old, and Trump’s frustration with it is reaching new heights
President Donald Trump’s furor with House Democrats’ barely week-old impeachment probe reached new heights on Wednesday, apparently prompting the president to resort to obscenities to express his discontent.
Later speaking to reporters in the Oval Office alongside Finland’s visiting president, Trump managed to partially censor himself in making a crude reference to Schiff, one of his top congressional rivals. Trump then delivered some locker room talk about Schiff: “He can't — you know there's an expression, he couldn’t carry his blank strap,” he said, apparently bleeping out “jock strap.”
The probe stems from a whistleblower complaint filed by a member of the intelligence community citing that call, prompting the White House to release its rough transcript of the conversation. Democrats, citing Trump’s sudden decision to withhold military aid from Ukraine, suggested the conversation may have contained a quid pro quo, though no such offer is explicitly made, according to the White House's account of the phone call.
