"You're impeached forever, you're never getting rid of that scar," Pelosi said of Trump. "History will always record that you are impeached for undermining the security of our country, jeopardizing the integrity of our elections, and violating the Constitution of the United States."
The strained relationship between Trump and Pelosi is in limelight again after a pair of dramas on the occasion of the president's State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
Trump, before starting the address, appeared to snub Pelosi's offer of a handshake; when the president finished speaking, the House's top Democrat ripped up her copy of the speech.
The Pelosi-led House impeached Trump in December last year after an inquiry triggered by a whistleblower complaint that raised concerns about the White House's interactions with Ukraine.
Trump was alleged to have pressured his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, into launching investigations that could politically benefit him by withholding military aid from Ukraine. Furthermore, the White House allegedly tried to cover it up.
The president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or a "quid pro quo" with Ukraine.
The White House stonewalled the House impeachment inquiry, accusing Democrats of an unfair process.
Bitter partisan wrestling continued in the Senate impeachment trial as Republicans and Democrats were sharply divided on whether to allow subpoenas for witnesses and documents till a failed motion last week kicked off an endgame.
