In his first reaction to the release of a phone call transcript between President Trump and the leader of Ukraine that sparked new calls for impeachment hearings, Trump has declared that he did nothing wrong.

In a campaign fundraising email, he said, "I've done nothing wrong, trust me, you saw the transcript."

He also blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic "witch hunt" seeking to remove him from office in time for the reelection campaign.

"Nancy Pelosi formally called for the first step towards my IMPEACHMENT! This is just another smear job and pathetic attempt by Democrats to rip the power from the people," he said in the campaign email to supporters.

The money raised by the email, he said, will fund an "Impeachment Defense Task Force."

In a separate statement, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale called the impeachment drive a “hoax” and said “pure hatred” is driving Democrats.

“Because of their pure hatred for President Trump, desperate Democrats and the salivating media already had determined their mission: take out the President. The fact is that the president wants to fight the corruption in Washington, where the Bidens, the Clintons, and other career politicians have abused their power for personal gain for decades. The facts prove the President did nothing wrong. This is just another hoax from Democrats and the media, contributing to the landslide re-election of President Trump in 2020,” he said.

The Trump email:

Nancy Pelosi formally called for the first step towards my IMPEACHMENT! This is just another smear job and pathetic attempt by Democrats to rip the power from the people.



I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG. TRUST ME, YOU SAW THE TRANSCRIPT.
