DEMS/IMPEACHMENT/NATO/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Trump set off to London on Monday [12-2-19], admonishing ‘radical’ Democrats for continuing their impeachment inquiry while he attends a NATO summit — ‘one of the most important journeys that we make as president’…The White House has said it would not participate on Wednesday when the House Judiciary Committee questions legal experts about whether there are grounds to impeach Mr. Trump over a pressure campaign on Ukraine in an effort to influence the 2020 election. Mr. Trump scolded Democrats for scheduling an impeachment hearing while he was out of Washington. The NATO summit was announced months ago, while the Judiciary Committee scheduled its first public impeachment hearing last week.”
