President Donald Trump has said he likes “the idea” of testifying in the impeachment inquiry against him.
In a tweet on Monday, Mr Trump said he would “strongly consider” the move after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested it over the weekend.
….that I testify about the phony Impeachment Witch Hunt. She also said I could do it in writing. Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!

The impeachment inquiry is investigating if the president withheld aid to Ukraine in exchange for a probe into ex-Vice President Joe Biden.
Mr Trump has dismissed it as a “witch hunt”.
