President Donald Trump sent out a tweet on Monday that the House Judiciary Committee should not launch an impeachment inquiry against him, but instead examine former President Barack Obama’s business deals since leaving the White House.
The president belittled the probe against him, tweeting that the “House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller Report, sadly for them after two years and $40,000,000 spent - ZERO COLLUSION, ZERO OBSTRUCTION. So they say, OK, lets look at everything else, and all of the deals that ‘Trump’ has done over his lifetime.”
The president continued in another tweet that “I have a better idea. Look at the Obama Book Deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the 'Congressional Slush Fund,' and lastly the IG Reports. Take a look at them. Those investigations would be over FAST!”
Trump was referring to the first film recently distributed by the former president and first lady Michelle Obama’s production company, High Ground through a joint venture with Netflix, according to Raw Story.
Vice pointed out that in contradiction to Trump’s claim, the committee has not given up on the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Last week the panel voted to expand its impeachment probe, and moved to get its hands on former special counsel Robert Mueller’s most sensitive materials.
