President Donald Trump stopped to speak with reporters on his way to Texas Tuesday morning and addressed questions about the Democrats' latest move to impeach him for a second time.

"As far as this is concerned, we want no violence, never violence, we want absolutely no violence. And on the impeachment it's really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous," Trump said before boarding Air Force One. "For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, to continue on this path. I think it's causing tremendous danger to our country, and it's causing tremendous anger. I want no violence."

Q: "What is your role in what happened at the Capitol? What is your personal responsibility?"

Trump is on his way to the Rio Grande Valley for a final review of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

"As you know we're going to Texas, to the southern border. As you know, we completed the wall and may want to expand it. We have the expansion underway. It's been tremendously successful, far beyond what anyone thought," he said. "We're stopping the large number of drugs coming into the country for many many years and decades. We're stopping a lot of illegal immigration."
