Trump news: President lashes out after impeachment report accuses him of bribery, as Republicans urged not to conduct 'cover-up' Senate trial
Donald Trump unleashed a furious tirade against his opponents and ranted about his personal ratings as a Fox News poll suggested half of Americans want him removed from the White House ahead of a looming vote on his impeachment.
