Rush Limbaugh returned from his holiday break on Monday and featured an interview with President Trump that covered a wide range of topics.

‘They’ve lost their minds’: Trump claims Democrats are using impeachment to ‘affect the election illegally’President Trump bemoaned the Democratic Party, saying lawmakers are wielding impeachment as a political cudgel during a call into Rush Limbaugh’s radio show.“I think they’ve lost their minds, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said about Democrats during a Monday interview with the Rush Limbaugh Show. “You look at the impeachment hoax, and they have nothing. They have nothing.”The president went on to accuse House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of withholding articles of impeachment from the Senate in order to affect the 2020 presidential election.“I think what they’re trying to do is affect the election illegally,” Trump said. “They are a joke. They are not crimes. There is nothing there. They found nothing. We went through two years of a Mueller report.”
