Trump Pens Scathing Open-Letter to Nancy Pelosi: Impeachment Is ‘Perversion of Justice’

President Donald Trump blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over Democrats’ impeachment efforts, which he called a “perversion of justice” in a six-page letter on Tuesday.

“More due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials,” Trump wrote, according to NBC News.

He also accused Pelosi of “declaring open war on American Democracy” and depriving him of “basic Constitutional Due Process” since the inception “of this impeachment scam.”

“You dare to invoke the Founding Fathers in pursuit of this election-nullification scheme — yet your spiteful actions display unfettered contempt for America’s founding and your egregious conduct threatens to destroy that which our Founders pledged their very lives to build,” the president said in the letter.

Trump cautioned Pelosi that she was “offending Americans of faith” by saying that she prayed for him: “It is a terrible thing you are doing, but you will have to live with it, not I!”

“No intelligent person believes what you are saying,” he added.

In another part of the letter, Trump chastised Pelosi for the harm he claimed she’d done to his family.

“You do not know, nor do you care, the great damage and hurt you have inflicted upon wonderful and loving members of my family,” the president said.

Trump also addressed reporters on Tuesday regarding the House’s scheduled impeachment vote, set to take place on Wednesday.

“It’s a hoax we look forward to getting on to the Senate, we are not entitled to a lawyer we are not entitled to witnesses, we are not entitled to anything in the House, its a total sham,” Trump said.

Impeachment

A Democratic-controlled House committee approved charges of abuse of power and obstruction against Trump on Friday, making it almost certain he will become the third U.S. president in history to be impeached.

The House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to approve an article of impeachment charging Trump with abusing the power of his office to pressure Ukraine to investigate a possible rival in the 2020 presidential election, Democrat Joe Biden.

The panel also backed a second article charging Trump with obstructing Congress’ investigation of the scandal.
