White House: Intel impeachment report ‘reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger’

The White House on Tuesday dismissed a draft report by the House Intelligence Committee accusing President Trump of soliciting foreign interference in the 2020 election, saying that the document “reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham described the House impeachment inquiry as a “one-sided sham process” in a statement and said the Democratic-led Intelligence panel “failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump” through weeks of private and public testimony from witnesses about the Trump administration’s contacts with Ukraine.

“This report reflects nothing more than their frustrations. Chairman [Adam] Schiff’s [D-Calif.] report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing,” Grisham said.

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Schiff, released a 300-page draft report earlier Tuesday accusing Trump of leveraging a White House meeting and security assistance in order to pressure Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that could benefit him politically.

“The President engaged in this course of conduct for the benefit of his own presidential reelection, to harm the election prospects of a political rival, and to influence our nation’s upcoming presidential election to his advantage,” the report states.

“The President placed his personal political interests above the national interests of the United States, sought to undermine the integrity of the U.S. presidential election process, and endangered U.S. national security,” it continues.
