2:24Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump says "we had a tremendous week with the hoax" when asked about the impeachment hearings.
"They call it the impeachment hoax and that's really worked out incredibly well," said Trump.
His comments came Friday while welcoming college athletes to the White House as part of NCAA Collegiate National Champions Day.
"We have tremendous support," Trump said. "I don't think I've ever seen support in the Republican Party like we do right now. We've never had this kind of support."
Trump's reaction comes after two weeks of riveting public hearings on Capitol Hill.
Witnesses testified President Trump explicitly ordered U.S. government officials to work with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on matters related to Ukraine, a country deeply dependent on Washington’s help to fend off Russian aggression.
The Republican president pushed Ukraine to launch investigations into political rivals, leaning on a discredited conspiracy theory his own advisers disputed.
And both American and Ukrainian officials feared that Trump froze a much-needed package of military aid until Kyiv announced it was launching those probes. That announcement never came and military aid was freed up.
