Trump Calling Democrats’ Bluff, Will Reportedly Slap Pelosi with Ultimatum

WJ:

President Donald Trump says he plans to send a formal letter to Nancy Pelosi issuing an ultimatum on impeachment, NPR reported Friday. The letter will reportedly call the Democrats’ bluff, hinting the president would not assist with their impeachment crusade unless they meet his one condition.

If lawmakers want an impeachment investigation, they should vote on it.

According to Axios, Trump plans to insist that the entire House vote on the impeachment inquiry or he will not comply with any of Congress’ demands.

This demand would force Democrats to go on the record either for or against the inquiry — a dangerous and difficult choice for anyone on the left as the party struggles to decide what the impeachment inquiry should cover.
