On the eve of an expected historic vote in the House of Representatives to impeach him, President Donald Trump on Tuesday sent an extraordinary personal six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi railing against what he calls an “illegal, partisan attempted coup.”
“I write this letter to you for the purpose of history and to put my thoughts on a permanent and indelible record,” the president writes in the letter, even as he also acknowledges that he doesn’t expect it to actually change the outcome of Wednesday’s anticipated vote that will make him only the third U.S. president to be impeached.
“One hundred years from now, when people look back at this affair, I want them to understand it and learn from it, so that it can never happen to another President again,” the letter reads.
