President Trump is delivering remarks about the Senate acquitting him on two charges of impeachment, and his comments started with a slam on James Comey and other “dirty cops”:
Trump on James Comey: “We caught him in the act” of plotting a coup. Trump says the “dirty cops” like Comey need to be held accountable.

"We caught him in the act," says @POTUS of @Comey. "Dirty cops. Bad people."

"Had I not fired James Comey, who was a disaster by the way, it’s possible I wouldn’t even be standing here right now. We caught him in the act. Dirty cops, bad people." pic.twitter.com/EwewjFb5r2

Trump also had choice words for Adam Schiff and his previous allegations:
"They made up facts. A corrupt politician named Adam Schiff made up my statement to the Ukrainian president. He brought it out of thin air. Just made it up. They say, he's a screenwriter, a failed screenwriter," Trump says
