Leonid Slutskiy: the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump is a revenge of the Democrats

"The vote in the House of Representatives for the impeachment against Trump is the result of internal party confrontation and the revenge of the Democrats for the defeat in the 2016 presidential election," said the Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs

emphasized that this is not a final decision, which will be inevitably followed by the resignation of the 45th President of the USA.

“There will a judicial proceeding and a Senate’s review, where it is necessary to get 2/3 of the vote for approval of the impeachment. This is not such an easy task, taking into account that the Senate’s majority is Republicans who, to put it mildly, do not support the initiative of the Democratic Party and have the ability to easily block it. I think that what is happening in Congress is, in fact, the active start of the 2020 presidential campaign,” he said.

However, he pointed out that this is an ”US internal affair.“
