In the video, Trump also said that the presidency was the “greatest honor” of his life. The FBI, meanwhile, is looking at Trump’s role in the storm, CNN reports.
The Democrats have called on Vice President Mike Pence and Trump administration ministers to impeach the president through the 25th amendment to the US Constitution. Pence has indicated that he sees little benefit in this.
