After becoming only the third president in American history to be impeached, Donald Trump has been attempting to argue that he had not received the historic black mark on his record.
“I don’t feel like I’m being impeached,” Trump told reporters on Thursday, a day after the House voted to impeach him. “It’s a hoax, it’s a setup, it’s a horrible thing they did.”
The impeachment vote was not a “hoax” or a “setup.” The House voted to approve two articles of impeachment based on extensive testimony that he held up aid to Ukraine to try to pressure the country to dig up dirt on his political rivals, along with the attempt to obstruct the investigation into his actions.
