President
Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday as his
Senate impeachment trial remains at an impasse, with
Republican and
Democratic leaders at odds over its format and whether witnesses should be called. Speaking at his private club in Palm Beach,
Florida, after a teleconference call with troops stationed across the globe, Trump singled out Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, who is indefinitely holding up sending the articles of impeachment the House passed last week to the Republican-controlled Senate. Trump has long seen a Senate trial, where he is almost certain to be acquitted, as an opportunity for vindication after he became the third president in the nation's history to be impeached by the House.
