‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade urges Trump not to tweet during impeachment hearings

“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday urged President Trump not to tweet during public impeachment hearings.

“The president should just ignore this whole thing. Don’t tweet during it. Don’t get outraged over it. It ticks you off,” Kilmeade said on air. “There’s so much for him to do. I just think that — let these guys like [Rep.] Doug Collins [R-Ga.] and company fight it out and keep it on the straight and narrow, from the Republican perspective.”

Several current and former Trump administration officials will appear on Capitol Hill to testify on Tuesday in the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into the president’s dealings with Ukraine.{mosads}

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine specialist on the National Security Council (NSC) who has previously cited concerns about Trump’s push to have Ukrainian leaders investigate his political rivals and its effect on national security, will testify, as will Jennifer Williams, a national security veteran detailed to Vice President Pence.

Also appearing before House investigators on Tuesday is former special envoy to Kyiv Kurt Volker — who has said the White House decision to withhold aid from Ukraine was “not significant” — and NSC staffer Tim Morrison.

Last week, Trump tweeted an attack on former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch during her Capitol Hill testimony, writing that “everywhere” she went “turned bad.” Yovanovitch responded in real time to the tweets during the hearing, stating that the attack had the “effect” of intimidating her.
