- Four days after ordering the assassination of the second most powerful military figure in Iran, the most pressing issue on President Donald Trump's mind is his own impeachment.
- "The Impeachment Hoax, just a continuation of the Witch Hunt which started even before I won the Election, must end quickly," Trump tweeted on Monday. "Read the Transcripts, see the Ukrainian President's strong statement, NO PRESSURE - get this done. It is a con game by the Dems to help with the Election!"
- The president's tweet comes as the House of Representatives continues withholding the articles of impeachment against Trump from the Senate as Democrats push for a fair and impartial trial.
- It also comes as Trump faces a rapidly escalating firestorm over his decision to unilaterally order the strike against Qassem Soleimani, setting off a high-stakes conflict with Iran that could result in it acquiring a nuclear weapon.
