US President Donald Trump has taken a victory lap one day after his impeachment acquittal, in a White House tirade against his political enemies.
"I've done things wrong in my life, I will admit... but this is what the end result is," he said as he held up a newspaper headlined "Trump acquitted".
"We went through hell, unfairly. We did nothing wrong," he said at the White House. "It was evil, it was corrupt."
He earlier criticised impeachment foes who invoked their religious faith.
"Now we have that gorgeous word. I never thought it would sound so good," Mr Trump said from the East Room, which was crammed with supporters and cabinet officials.
"It's called 'total acquittal'."
Mr Trump thanked his lawyers and Republican lawmakers
Mr Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but was acquitted on Wednesday after a two-week trial in the Republican-controlled Senate, which did not include any witnesses.
Mr Trump also used a swear word to describe the justice department inquiry into whether his 2016 election campaign had colluded with the Kremlin.
"It was all bullshit," he said. "This should never happen to another president ever."
