Our country at stake like never before: Trump

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (AFP): President Donald Trump, the target of an impeachment inquiry over alleged abuse of power, warned supporters

Saturday that "our country is at stake like never before."

The video message posted on Twitter came in response to Democratic lawmakers' investigation of accusations that Trump tried to strong-arm the Ukrainian president into providing dirt on Joe Biden, one of the American President's main 2020 election rivals.

American rights are being threatened by Democrats, Trump said, stating that they "want to take away your guns, they want to take away your health care, they want to take away your vote, they want to take away your freedom."

In subsequent tweets, Trump repeated his charges that the impeachment investigation is a "Witch Hunt".
