President Trump blasted House Democrats' articles of impeachment as "Flimsy, pathetic, ridiculous" hours after they were rolled out.
House Democratic leadership introduced two articles of impeachment on Tuesday against Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
"Today, the House Democrats announced these two flimsy, pathetic, ridiculous articles of impeachment," he said.
House Democrats characterized Trump's withholding of military aid to Ukraine as a "Bribe" for weeks during impeachment hearings, but the charge was notably left off the draft articles.
The second article of impeachment alleges Trump obstructed Congress, which differs from obstruction of justice.
He went on to call the impeachment efforts "Impeachment lite," slamming the process as the "The lightest, weakest" impeachment "In the history of our country by far." Trump also accused Democrats of abusing Congress's impeachment power and cheapening a solemn process.
"To me, impeachment is a very ugly word. It's a word I associate with some very bad times in our country," Trump said.
