Trump will ‘strongly consider’ testifying

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.

The Democrat-led inquiry is establishing whether Mr Trump withheld aid to Ukraine in return for an inquiry into ex-Vice President Joe Biden.

The Republican president has dismissed it as a “witch hunt”.
