Trump says impeachment hearings while he's overseas are 'not nice!' — but GOP did same to Clinton
Trump accused Democrats in a tweet of "purposely" scheduling the first House Judiciary Committee hearing on impeachment against him for Wednesday, saying that was "not nice!"
The House is pursuing an impeachment inquiry of Trump as a result of his pressuring the newly elected president of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory involving the 2016 presidential election. The pressure campaign came at the same time that Trump was withholding congressionally appropriated military aid to Ukraine.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a formerly Republican House member from Kansas, during an interview on Fox News on Monday said that the timing of the House Judiciary hearing is "very unfortunate."But Republicans in late 1998 and into 1999 conducted proceedings related to the impeachment of Clinton when he was traveling abroad., testified for more than two hours to the House Judiciary Committee — which at the time was controlled by Republicans — about the Democratic president.
On that same day Starr testified in Washington, D.C., Clinton was traveling in Japan, where he met with Emperor Akhito and Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi.
