President Donald Trump isn’t watching the public House impeachment hearings against him, according to Stephanie Grisham, the president’s chief spokeswoman.
Grisham told reporters by email Wednesday that Trump is participating in meetings in the Oval Office. She wrote: “Not watching. He’s working.”
Trump was scheduled around noon to receive Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for meetings, including a separate gathering with senators invited by the White House. Trump and Erdogan are also slated to hold a joint news conference at the White House.
Trump opened Wednesday by lashing out on Twitter at the inquiry and the two career U.S. diplomats who are testifying.
The inquiry focuses on a July telephone call in which Trump sought to get the leader of Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals.
Trump denies wrongdoing and has described the conversation as “perfect.”
