Politico: Trump appears to prefer acting as his own political strategist and communications director

during impeachment inquiry.

Trump appears to prefer acting as his own political strategist and communications director, even for the upcoming impeachment fight centering around his alleged attempt to persuade Ukraine’s government to investigate potential 2020 rival Joe Biden. He has spent the past several days speaking directly to reporters or prolifically tweeting about “presidential harassment” or Democratic House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, all while trying to discredit the whistleblower whose complaint kicked off the investigation into his phone call with the Ukrainian president.

The Trump team’s strategic calculation to beat back impeachment appears to center primarily on holding on to the support of (senate) Republicans. - Poliitico
