In the letter, Trump accused the leadership of the Democratic Party of waging “open war against American democracy,” emphasizing that a coup attempt had been launched against him.

“Everyone, including you, knows what’s going on,” the president wrote. – The candidate you chose was defeated in the 2016 elections. Your party could not survive the defeat. That’s why you’ve been trying to overturn the voting results for the last three years.”

Trump called the actions of Democrats seeking to remove him from power an “illegal attempt ... a coup.” The impeachment organizers, according to the president, will be defeated on election day.

Trump emphasizes that the articles put forward against him by the legal committee do not comply with any standards of theory and interpretation of the Constitution and jurisprudence.

The president says his opponents are using the impeachment process to distract Americans from his accomplishments, including strong economic growth and record low unemployment. “The judgment of history will be merciless for you,” he warns the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Trump sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi a few minutes before she announced that the House of Representatives would vote on December 18 under two articles of impeachment, which contain allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

In her letter to her House colleagues, she wrote of the need to "fulfill our oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, domestic and foreign." Pelosi called the president's letter "ridiculous."

On December 18, the House of Representatives will vote on both items nominated by the US president.

If impeachment is approved by the House of Representatives, the case will be transferred to the Senate, which will consider the charges against the president and decide whether he deserves removal from power.

Observers predict that supporters of impeachment will not be able to get in the Senate two-thirds of the votes of senators needed to deprive the president of power.

The impeachment case began when an informant in the U.S. intelligence services in mid-2019 told his leadership that, in his opinion, Trump was abusing the president’s power. Now the Democrats suggest that Trump, with the help of his team, pressed the Ukrainian government for personal political gain.

Republicans support the president and call the impeachment process a farce, a spectacle, a witch hunt. Many of them believe that in 2016 the Ukrainian government worked against Trump, and today this corrupt country and some officials are “trying to get Trump.”
