Pelosi reclaimed her gavel as Speaker after Democrats won back the majority in the lower chamber during the 2018 midterm elections. She previously held the position between 2007 and 2011.

Trump fired off dozens of tweets and retweets Wednesday morning as House lawmakers debated two articles of impeachment accusing him of abusing his power in his dealings with Ukraine and obstructing the congressional inquiry. The House is widely expected to approve the impeachment articles in a party-line vote, which will come later Wednesday following hours of debate.

Trump has bemoaned the impeachment inquiry as a politically motivated “sham,” accusing House Democrats of trying to bruise him politically while defending his interactions with Ukraine’s president as “perfect.”

In the blistering six-page letter sent Tuesday, Trump branded impeachment a “fantasy” and accused House Democrats of “interfering in America’s elections,” going after Pelosi and other House members by name.

“I have no doubt the American people will hold you and the Democrats fully responsible in the upcoming 2020 election. They will not soon forgive your perversion of justice and abuse of power,” Trump wrote.

Pelosi later called the letter “sick” and “ridiculous,” adding that she hadn’t “fully read it” because she had been working.
