US President Donald Trump has claimed victory as the Democratic Party-controlled House of Representatives concluded its third public hearing on the impeachment proceedings against him for allegedly abusing his office for political gain in the run up to the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impeachment hearings are an effort by Democrats to establish whether Trump withheld US military aid to Ukraine to pressure the country\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing a corruption inquiry into Joe Biden, Trump\u2019s leading Democratic rival in the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA great day for Republicans, a great day for our Country! In the end we will win and save our Country from certain destruction,\u201d Trump tweeted soon after the House Select Committee on Intelligence concluded its third public impeachment hearings on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the day, Kurt Volker, former special envoy to Kyiv, and Tim Morrison, another top NSC aide, testified before the powerful House Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday\u2019s second hearing is over, and the Democrats\u2019 central allegation in this impeachment sham has again been completely debunked,\u201d White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said at the conclusion of the testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpecifically, Ambassador Volker confirmed under oath that he had no indication whatsoever of anything that resembled a quid-pro-quo, corroborating his previous deposition testimony that \u2018there was no linkage like that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the Democrats\u2019 poll-tested \u2018quid-pro-quo\u2019 and \u2018bribery\u2019 narratives in shambles, the American public should not be forced to endure this charade for one more second,\u201d Grisham said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
