President Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed the Houses impeachment proceedings as a hoax and said he was too busy to watch and then blasted Democrats choice of questioners at a hearing he said he hadnt been briefed on.
Im sure Ill get a report, Trump told reporters at a short Oval Office pool spray with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. I have not been briefed, no. Theres nothing there. I see theyre using lawyers that are television lawyers. They took some guys off television. Im not surprised to see it because Schiff cant do his own questions.
Trump appeared to be citing Democrats decision to have Daniel Goldman, senior adviser and counsel to House Intelligence Democrats, take an early lead in questioning witnesses Bill Taylor and George Kent alongside Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
But the GOP is deploying the same strategy: Longtime GOP counsel and staffer Steve Castor has a starring role during Republicans questioning of the witnesses, along with Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
