WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump dismissed the need for assembling a team to help in rebuffing Democrats' impeachment inquiry despite multiple reports that allies and some at the White House want such a team.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn Friday, Trump boasted, "Here's the thing. I don't have teams, everyone's talking about teams. I'm the team. I did nothing wrong."

However, some allies have been discussing the necessity for the White House to assemble a team to respond to the inquiry as several officials have already testified thus far. Some have provided strong testimony against Trump.

According to multiple reports, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is seeking someone to put into a chief strategist role that would be solely focused on the Trump administration's response to impeachment.

Some names have been reported to be under consideration, including Tony Sayegh, former top Treasury aide, and Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General.

The inquiry is investigating the president pressuring Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, one of Trump's 2020 Democratic rivals, and his son Hunter, while the United States withheld substantial military aid to the country.

During a press conference on Thursday to introduce a resolution condemning how House Democrats have been conducting the impeachment investigation, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he was under the impression the White House was working on assembling a team for messaging surrounding the inquiry.

“I talked to Chief of Staff (Mick) Mulvaney. I think they’re working on getting a messaging team together,” Graham said, pointing to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998, saying he “had a team that was organized, that had legal minds that could understand what was being said versus the legal proceedings in question, and they were on message every day."

"President Clinton defended himself, but he never stopped being president," Graham added. "I think one of the reasons he survived is that the public may not have liked what the president had done but believed that he was still able to do his job, and, as he governed during impeachment, I think that was the single best thing he did."

After Graham’s comment Thursday, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham told Fox of the inquiry, “It’s like you’re fighting a ghost. You’re fighting against the air. So we’re doing the best we can. Honestly, messaging isn’t that hard."

However, last week, the White House chief of staff was unable to nail down a consistent message on the matter.

Mulvaney appeared to acknowledge during a televised press conference that aid to Ukraine at the center of the House impeachment inquiry was withheld in part because of the president's desire for the country to investigate potential corruption in U.S. domestic politics. Mulvaney then reversed his position later in the day, blaming the media for misconstruing his words.

Trump’s comment squashing the need for a response team came during a passionate rant against the impeachment investigation, where he consistently reiterated that the phone call between Ukraine’s president and himself was “perfect”, and questioned how Democrats could impeach "one of the most successful presidents."
