Trump Wants His ‘Ukraine Impeachment’ Investigated

President Donald Trump has called on Congress and other relevant authorities to investigate the reasons for his first impeachment.

In his Truth Social Sunday post, Trump specifically called out the California Democratic representative. Adam Schiff subject to investigation and said a number of laws and protocols were violated in connection with his impeachment.

“The Ukraine (mine!) impeachment scam was a far bigger illegal hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the proper authorities, including CONGRESS, look into this! Adam “Schiffty” Schiff was sooooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws and protocols were broken and just plain broken!!! President DJT.” Trump said this in his post.

This goes back to 2019, when Congress voted to impeachment Trump during his first term due to a scandal involving a telephone conversation between Trump and the president of Ukraine. Vladimir Zelensky. The House of Representatives voted in favor two articles impeachment, accusing Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Trump was accused of asking Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for US military aid.

The House voted largely along party lines on both charges, with no Republicans voting for either. Then a representative of the Democratic Party of Hawaii. Tulsi Gabbard voted “present” on both charges. Maine Democratic Representative Jared Golden voted for the first article, an abuse of power charge, and against the second article, which was obstruction of justice.
Trump was ultimately acquitted by the Senate on both articles of impeachment, with former Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney voting to convict Trump on abuse of power charges.
