President Trump fired off a series of early morning tweets on Sunday assailing Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the lead House impeachment manager, echoing the president’s defense team in the Senate trial.
“The Impeachment Hoax is a massive election interference the likes of which has never been seen before. In just two hours the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats have seen their phony case absolutely shredded,” Trump said in his first tweet, referring to his legal team’s opening arguments on Saturday.
“Shifty is now exposed for illegally making up my phone call, & more!” Trump added, an apparent reference to Schiff mischaracterizing the president’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which is central to the Democrats’ impeachment effort. Schiff has said his comments were intended as “parody,” but Trump has called for the California Democrat to be prosecuted for treason for them.

In a follow-up tweet, Trump referred to Schiff as a “CORRUPT POLITICIAN” and said he has “not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”
