Trump mocks impeachment effort, talks up trade deal at rally

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump mocked the Democratic impeachment effort as he sought to rally supporters Tuesday in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, calling the process "impeachment lite" and promising it would lead to his reelection in 2020.

Trump's visit to Pennsylvania followed a momentous day at the U.S. Capitol, where Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment and shortly thereafter signaled their support for the president's long-sought United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats are trying to show they can pass legislation and pursue an impeachment inquiry at the same time, but Trump said, "It plays down the impeachment because they're embarrassed by the impeachment."
