Trump Accuses Pelosi of Violating Oath of Office in Blistering Six-Page Letter

The charge that he abused his power by withholding U.S. military aid from Ukraine to try to force Zelenskiy to investigate his political rivals “is a completely disingenuous, meritless and baseless invention of your imagination,” he wrote.

Democrats’ second charge, that he obstructed Congress by refusing to turn over documents and make witnesses available in the impeachment inquiry, “is preposterous and dangerous,” he wrote. He argued that he only asserted “Constitutionally based privileges” by withholding the witnesses and documents.

“Under that standard, every American president would have been impeached many times over,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s letter was released as the House Rules Committee met Tuesday to determine procedures to vote on the two articles. Democratic leaders said they expect hours of debate before the votes.
