Trump Predicts Impeachment Fight Will Go to Supreme Court

VOA News

   President Donald Trump predicts his impeachment battle with House
   Democrats will wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

   The president spoke to reporters Wednesday, a day after the White House
   says it is refusing to participate in the Democratic-led inquiry into
   whether he should be impeached.

   Trump did not say exactly what House leaders must do if they want his
   cooperation. But he said he would cooperate "if they give us our
   rights" and Republicans "get a fair shake."

   On Twitter, he called the impeachment probe a "Total Scam by the Do
   Nothing Democrats."

   Among the gripes spelled out in the White House letter is a complaint
   that Democrats are denying Trump and his Republican supporters in the
   House the opportunity to question witnesses and see the evidence the
   Democrats have.

   The White House calls the impeachment inquiry "unconstitutional" and
   demands the full House be allowed to vote on whether there should be an
   inquiry.

   But there is no rule preventing the House from looking into allegations
   of illegal activity by a president before deciding whether to bring
   actual articles of impeachment to a vote.
