President Trump Delivers Impeachment Acquittal Statement President Donald Trump referred <br />to the statement as "not a speech or <br />press conference" but "a celebration." He used his wide-ranging <br />and largely unscripted statement <br />to heap praise upon specific supporters<br />and to call out his critics. Among his critics, Trump focused <br />on former FBI director James Comey <br />and Republican Utah Senator Mitt Romney. Trump praised Mitch McConnell, <br />Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes and others. Referring to the Russia investigation that played <br />a large part in the decision to begin impeachment <br />proceedings, Trump said, "It was all bulls---." Speaking for more than<br />an hour, Trump said that he <br />and his family "went through hell"<br />due to the impeachment proceedings. The president concluded by thanking his <br />family for "sticking through it" and saying it was <br />an "honor to be with everyone in this room."
