Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) on Saturday said President Trump strongly denied to him that threatened any Republican senator over their vote on impeachment.
Meadows, one of Trump’s closest allies, said Trump has vehemently denied that any Republican senators were told “vote against the president and your head will be on a pike,” as CBS News reported Friday.
House lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, referenced the comment Friday in his closing argument, causing an uproar among Republicans.
“That didn’t happen. That categorically did not happen. I talked to the president this morning and I can promise you it’s not language he has used, it’s not language he did use,” said Meadows.
“The jury on that are the 53 Republican senators that should be offended but they know the president didn’t tell them that,” he said.
