President Donald Trump said Monday that he will “strongly consider” testifying in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

“Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!” the president said in a tweet, referring to his possible testimony.

The comment came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that the president could “come right before the committee and talk … or he could do it in writing.”

The Trump administration is directing officials not to comply with the inquiry, which sprang up after Trump requested that Ukraine’s new president investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son’s business ties in the former Soviet republic.

House Democrats, except for two, voted in October to support the impeachment inquiry.
