Furthermore, he said if Democrats take control of either chamber and they follow through with a subpoena then he will take the fight to the Supreme Court.
His comments come in response to remarks made by the California lawmaker during a CNN campaign forum last week.
“And subpoena power is interesting, to use it or not to use it…what we will do is exercise oversight, which is the responsibility of the Congress of the United States,” said Representative Pelosi .
In response, the president shook off any threats of impeachment by saying the process would take two years to get to the Supreme Court.
