In response to Speaker Pelosi's informal invitation, President Trump asserts Monday that he will 'strongly consider' giving written testimony for the House impeachment hearings.
"He has every opportunity to present his case," she said, adding that if Trump"has information that is exculpatory, that means ex, taking away, culpable, blame, then we look forward to seeing it.”
But Pelosi, calling Trump's efforts at having Ukraine investigate the Bidens and a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 presidential election, said the president's conduct"was so much worse than even what Richard Nixon did." "At some point, Richard Nixon cared about the country enough to recognize that this could not continue," she said.
Public calls for the president to testify before the committee have ramped up recently. After an extended rant during Wednesday's public impeachment hearings from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in which the Trump allyinvestigators need to have “the person who started” the probe, meaning the first whistleblower, come testify, Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., retorted,"I'd like to see the person who started it come testify. President Trump is welcome to take a seat right there.
