During an unplanned news conference in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum, President Trump took a break from talking about the economy and lashed out at Democrats back home for impeaching him. He hurled insults at two of the prominent House managers, calling Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, the Judiciary Committee chairman, a “sleaze bag” and branding Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, who is leading the prosecution, a “con job” and a “corrupt politician.”

Mr. Trump said he would love to attend his own trial — something his lawyers have advised against — so he could “sit right in the front row and stare into their corrupt faces.”

While his legal team spent Tuesday arguing that Democrats’ calls for witnesses were inappropriate and a sign of a weak case, and Mr. Trump himself spent months blocking his advisers from participating in the House impeachment inquiry, the president said on Wednesday that he actually would like them to be able to testify.

“I would rather interview Bolton,” he said, referring to John R. Bolton, his former national security adviser. “I would rather interview a lot of people.”
