Donald Trump has for the time admitted that Democrats in the House of Representatives have enough votes to "easily" impeach him.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House in an interaction for which it appeared the president had prepared several crucial talking points in advance, he admitted Democrats had enough votes to push ahead and vote to impeach him.
Yet he said he believed he would be protected by Republicans in the Senate, which would have to vote with a two-thirds if the president were to be removed from office.
So the Democrats. Unfortunately they have the votes, Mr Trump said, referring to the House, which only requires to a simple majority to vote to impeach the president.
