Donald Trump has dismissed moves by the Democrats to impeach him for a second time as a “hoax” and part of the “greatest and most vicious witch-hunt” in US history.
His political rivals are also preparing a resolution in Congress which presses Vice President Mike Pence to remove him from office under the 25th Amendment – and they will push for impeachment if Mr Pence does not act.
But the president, who is due to leave office in a week, said he was not concerned – saying the 25th was “of zero risk to me”.
