President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump railed against House Democrats for investigating her father’s dealings with Ukraine by quoting Thomas Jefferson about being “surrounded by enemies and spies” in Washington, D.C., after the House voted to approve procedures for the impeachment inquiry.
Ivanka tweeted the quote, which is from Jefferson’s letter to his daughter Martha describing the political capital of the U.S. The quote reads “…surrounded by enemies and spies catching and perverting every word that falls from my lips or flows from my pen, and inventing where facts fail them.”
She posted the quote along with the message, “Some things never change, dad!”
President Trump also posted on Twitter immediately after the vote, calling the impeachment inquiry the “Greatest Witch Hunt In American History.”
