Before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” to defend delaying the Senate impeachment trial, the president tweeted some advice for her interviewer, host George Stephanopoulos.

“George @GStephanopoulos, ask Crazy Nancy why she allowed Adam 'Shifty' Schiff to totally make up my conversation with the Ukrainian President & read his false words to Congress and the world, as though I said it? He got caught! Ask why hearing was most unfair & biased in history?” President Donald Trump wrote , doubling down a few hours later.


Before a meeting of his committee in September, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff offered a dramatized version of Trump’s July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Conservative commentators, Trump and Republican lawmakers were quick to criticize Schiff, though the chairman said his summary was “meant to be at least part in parody."
