The White House said on Thursday that Democrats should be "ashamed" after their leader in the lower house of Congress pulled the trigger on impeaching US President Donald Trump.
"Democrats should be ashamed," Trump's chief spokesperson Stephanie Grisham said in a tweet.
Echoing the president's earlier comments, Grisham said that once the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives votes on impeachment, Trump looks forward to "a fair trial in the Senate", where his Republican party holds power.
AFP earlier reported that US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday told congressional leaders to draw up articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump, saying his abuse of power for political benefit "leaves us no choice but to act".
