President Donald Trump just admitted that he did indeed watch today’s impeachment hearing:
Trump on impeachment after staff said he's too busy to watch: "I've been watching today. For the first time, I've been watching."

What WOULD we do without you brave firefighters?
""The President will be watching Congressman Nunes' opening statement, but the rest of the day he will be working hard for the American people." — WH press spox Stephanie Grisham this morning https://t.co/oQj7iNcxVy

Another Dear Diary moment, that’s for sure:
Trump admitted he's been watching the hearing today, contradicting the press secretary who said he was only tuning in for Nunes opening statement.

The president also disagreed with Dems who called his tweet directed at Amb. Yovanovich “witness intimidation”:
Trump asked by @AprilDRyan whether his tweet about Yovanovich was witness intimidation: "I don't think so at all."

And he casually reminded the guardians of the 1st Amendment that he, too, has the right to speak:
"I have the right to speak. I have freedom of speech just as other people do. But they have taken away the Republicans rights. I watched today as certain very talented people wanted to ask questions and they were not even allowed to ask questions. Republicans." @realdonaldxtrump
