President Trump publicly brushed off the day's Hill proceedings, telling reporters 'I hear it's a joke'
."I hear it's a joke. I haven't watched, I haven't watched for one minute because I've been with the president which is much more important as far as I am concerned," Trump said, speaking to reporters at the White House, alongside Erdogan."This is a sham, and it shouldn't be allowed."
The White House and Trump’s Hill defenders used several offense strategies in the president’s defense, including dismissing the witnesses, questioning their motives, and trying to divert attention to Hunter Biden's business dealings. “Dems star witnesses can’t provide any first hand knowledge of any wrongdoing by @POTUS,” tweeted press secretary Stephanie Grisham. “Their own testimony contradicts the Dems false quid pro quo narrative. These are essentially two bureaucrats with a foreign policy gripe.”Republicans on the Hill and the airwaves also tried to keep the focus on the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinskiy, rather than any information that was conveyed to Ukrainian diplomats.
Trump’s campaign used the event, as it has other hot-button moments in his presidency, to raise money — texting and emailing supporters multiple times over the course of the day that the hearings were"Fake" and"a “TOTAL SCAM!” in a bid to pull in $3 million in 24 hours.
