The head of the Democrats in the American Congress, Nancy Pelosi, assured Sunday have enough evidence to dismiss Donald Trump, on the eve of a crucial week in preparation for the opening in the Senate of the trial of the President of the United States . "We think there is enough evidence to remove the president," said the California official, who was interviewed on ABC.
Donald Trump expressed his irritation at this dismissal procedure which poisons the end of his mandate. "Why should I have the stigma of" impeachment "stuck to my name when I have done NOTHING hurt," stormed the president on Twitter on Sunday. He again attacked the Democratic opposition, demanding that "nervous Nancy" Pelosi and Adam "Schiff the deceiver", who oversaw the investigation against Donald Trump, be heard as witnesses.
In a later tweet, Donald Trump said the case should be closed without trial, saying that any Senate proceedings would provide undue credibility to what he sees as a "witch hunt" being waged against him by his Democratic opponents.
Why should I have the stigma of Impeachment attached to my name when I did NOTHING wrong? Read the Transcripts! A totally partisan Hoax, never happened before. House Republicans voted 195-0, with three Dems voting with the Republicans. Very unfair to tens of millions of voters!

Nancy Pelosi had given the green light Friday for the sending next week of the indictment of Donald Trump to the upper house, after several weeks of tussle with the Republicans, thus opening the prospect of a trial in imminent dismissal. She confirmed on Sunday that she would rally her troops on Tuesday to set the schedule. "We have confidence in impeachment. And we believe that there are enough testimonies to dismiss him ”, to the democratic president of the lower house.
Elected Republicans and Democrats cross iron on another major subject, the testimony of John Bolton, former national security adviser to Donald Trump. John Bolton said he was ready to testify at the trial, provided he was formally summoned by the Senate. But Donald Trump hinted Friday, interviewed by Fox News, that he could prevent one of his former right-handers from being heard, citing "executive privilege".
For her part, Nancy Pelosi did not exclude, if the Republican majority in the Senate did not summon John Bolton, to audition him in the House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats.
