President Donald Trump is confident he has the support of enough Republican lawmakers to acquit him in the Senate impeachment trial.
In an exclusive Fox News interview, the president noted that he watched “a little bit” of Thursday’s Impeachment trial — where senators asked the Impeachment teams questions — and offered his view of it.
“It’s very boring to watch,” Trump said, adding, “I have to say that it’s very boring.”
Trump continued to explain that he calls it the “Impeachment hoax,” a term he has used before. He added, “It should have never taken place.”
Expressing confidence in his acquittal in the Senate, he said, “I have great confidence in Republican senators and probably some Democrats, from what I understand.”
Asked if he has any concern about a vote for removal in the Senate, Trump said he “shouldn’t be in this position” because “we’ve done more than any other president in the first three years.”
“It’s a ridiculous, horrible partisan situation. But I have great confidence in the Republicans and the Republican Senate, and I know they are going to be fair.”
