US President Trump declares impeachment proceedings a 'disgrace' and complains anew that it was 'a very unfair situation,' in his White House speech
President Donald Trump, facing a bruising re-election campaign and possible further investigations in Congress, called the Democrats who pursued his impeachment"dishonest and corrupt."
"I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong," Trump said in an apparent allusion to Senator Mitt Romney, the sole Republican who voted to convict the president. Romney cited his faith in explaining his vote on the Senate floor Wednesday. After walking down a red carpet to a standing ovation from scores of Republican lawmakers, administration officials and conservative media figures in the White House, Trump re-aired old grievances and accused Democrats of staging a "corrupt" effort to undermine his presidency.
He declared that the Republican Party has never been more unified and that the momentum from the acquittal would carry him to reelection this November. But he also predicted that he may have to fend off another impeachment challenge, perhaps for something as trivial as jaywalking. For Trump, there was one overriding message to draw from his acquittal: Even at a time of maximum political peril, it's his Republican Party.
