President Donald Trump spent most of Wednesday lashing out against the ongoing impeachment inquiry against him, accusing Democrats of not focusing on the issues.
"The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on [B***S***], which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306," Trump tweeted, referring to the electoral vote. "Get a better candidate this time, you’ll need it!"
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump is “scared” of the inquiry.
“I think the president knows the argument that can be made against him, and he’s scared,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview to be broadcast Thursday morning on "Good Morning America."
ABC News’ John Santucci and ABC News’ Trish Turner explain the strategies for both sides as the inquiry continues.
