President Trump said Friday that he hasnt decided whether to wage a long or short impeachment defense in the U.S. Senate, but either way, he expressed confidence in the outcome.
Ill do whatever I want. Look, there is we did nothing wrong, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. So Ill do long or short. Ive heard Mitch [McConnell], Ive heard Lindsey [Graham]. I think they are very much in agreement on some concept. Ill do whatever they want to do, it doesnt matter.
During a Thursday night appearance on Sean Hannitys Fox News program, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the host that his hope is that it will be a shorter process rather than a lengthy process. McConnell also made clear that he was acting in lockstep with the White House.
Everything I do during [the impeachment process], Im coordinating with White House counsel, McConnell said. There will be no difference between the presidents position and our position as to how to handle this.

Nor can he be expected to keep his mouth shut, even when it's in his own best interest to do so. Journeyman (just now)
