Trump Jr. wrote in asecond Instagram poston Wednesday that “the impeachment is a total partisan sham and everyone knows it.”

He added to his crowd of supporters that the men and women who make up the Senate “love this country. They’re going to do the right thing.”
In atweetearlier on Wednesday, Trump called the impeachment vote “an assault on America” and “an assault on the Republican Party.” He also retweeted several Congress members who spoke out in his support on the social media platform throughout the day.
The vote marks the third time a U.S. president has ever been impeached, though no president has been removed from office as a result. Both Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were acquitted in the Senate after being impeached.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said earlier on Wednesday that it was the House’s constitutional obligation after Trump allegedly pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals.
“Today, as speaker of the House, I solemnly and sadly open the debate on the impeachment of the president of the United States,” she said. “If we do not act now, we would be derelict in our duty. It is tragic that the president’s reckless actions make impeachment necessary. He gave us no choice.”
