Trump: Schiff's investigation is "presidential harassment...no reason to do that" [View all]

[Miles Archer]

At an event to announce his nominee for World Bank president, Trump was asked about Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) insistence that investigations will go forward and that Congress will not be bullied by remarks in the president’s State of the Union Address.

“That wouldn’t be partisan, would it?” Trump asked sarcastically. “Under what basis would he do that [financial investigation]? He has no basis to do that.”

“He’s just a political hack,” the president added. “There would be no reason to do that. No other politician has to go through that.”

Trump said that the investigation “is called presidential harassment.”

“And it really does hurt our country,” he opined.
