US President Donald Trump warned his Republican colleagues that if they do not retain control of Congress in this year's midterm elections, Democrats will impeach him again.
Modern.az reports that it was stated in an NBC News report.
"You have to win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms, it's just... I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me," Trump said in a speech to a Republican policy group in the House of Representatives.
"I will be impeached," he said.
Polls have shown that the majority of voters believe the country is on the wrong track. All members of the House of Representatives and one-third of senators will be re-elected in November, which could determine whether Republicans continue to implement their agenda in the final two years of Trump's second term.
Trump is the only president to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives, although Senate supporters failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed to convict him on both articles. The president was first impeached in 2019, accused of pressuring Ukraine to announce an investigation into then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, partly by withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid approved by Congress to undermine Biden's electoral chances.
Trump was impeached a second time in 2021 for his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol to protest Biden's defeat. Trump has repeatedly claimed his innocence and sought to portray the impeachments as politically motivated attacks. Following a US operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, House Representative Maxine Waters (California Democrat) suggested that Trump's actions could be grounds for impeachment.
