Calling the impeachment inquiry a “hoax”, US President Donald Trump lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Adam Schiff over the ongoing probe.

“This is a hoax,” Xinhua quoted Trump as saying during the joint press conference with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto at the White House on Wednesday.

“This is the greatest hoax.”

The impeachment inquiry, announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on September 24, stemmed from a whistleblower complaint alleging that Trump had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call to investigate Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate for the 2020 election, as well as issues related to alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff held a press conference earlier on Wednesday, at which Pelosi said her chamber had “no choice but to go forward” with the impeachment proceedings. IANS
