{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lara Trump said the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry into her father-in-law is a gift to his 2020 campaign.
Trump, wife of President Trump's middle son Eric Trump, said Thursday on "Hannity" internal campaign polling shows voters are not as in favor of impeachment as the media and Democrats let on.
"This is a gift for us," she said.

"We can let them keep going with this because the American people are not distracted by this," Trump, 37, said.

In a May interview, the Houston lawmaker said he is, "concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected. If we don't impeach him, he will say he has been vindicated."
Trump said Democrats like Green are "so desperate to get him out of office they know that this is the only shot they have."
