President Donald Trump apologized to his family for having to go through a ‘phony, rotten deal,’ in a speech celebrating his acquittal on impeachment charges at the White House
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated his acquittal on impeachment charges in a caustic, free-wheeling speech on Thursday that drew on White House pomp to underscore the fact that he remained in office.
The Republican president then handed the newspaper to his wife, Melania, and said maybe they would frame it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic who launched the impeachment inquiry in September, said in December that she does not hate Trump and that she prays for him. Republican Senator Mitt Romney, a Mormon, cited his religious faith when he voted to convict Trump on a charge of abuse of power on Wednesday. Romney was the only Republican to vote for conviction. No Democrat voted to acquit.
Democrats were unclear about their next steps in investigating Trump. There are several pending court cases related to Democratic efforts to get more information from Trump, and Pelosi issued a statement saying the House would protect the Constitution “both in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion.”
