President Trump Says He May Give Written Testimony To His Own Impeachment Hearing

....that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!

Daily Mail: 'I like the idea!' Donald Trump says he might TESTIFY in his own impeachment hearing after Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer dare him to show up or answer questions in writing

* Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed that Donald Trump's actions are worse than disgraced former President Richard Nixon
* She and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dared the president to come to Capitol Hill and testify in his own impeachment inquiry hearings
* Trump responded 'I like the idea' and suggested he could show up or respond to written questions
* Nixon was the subject of an impeachment investigation for obstruction of justice, abuse of power and contempt of Congress and resigned in 1974
* 'At some point, Richard Nixon cared about the country enough to recognize that this could not continue,' Pelosi said in an interview with CBS

Donald Trump appeared to call Nancy Pelosi's bluff on Monday, suggesting after she dared him to testify in an impeachment hearing that he might do it—either in writing or in person.

The president responded to written questions in April from then-special counsel Robert Mueller, but entering statements for the record in an impeachment inquiry would be an unprecedented move in a game with higher stakes.

Pelosi, Trump tweeted, 'suggested ... that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!'

The House Intelligence Committee declined comment on Monday.
