Trump slams House's impeachment delay as 'so unfair'

President Trump criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for delaying the transmission of impeachment articles to the Senate, calling her strategy "unfair" and a violation of the Constitution, arguing she has "no case."
Pelosi is withholding the articles to pressure Senate Republicans into agreeing to a "fair" trial, seeking assurances on witness testimony and trial procedures, while Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is coordinating with the White House.
Trump was impeached by the Democratic-controlled House on December 18 for abusing power (withholding aid to Ukraine for political gain) and obstructing Congress, though a conviction and removal from office by the Republican-controlled Senate is highly unlikely.
