MANILA (Bloomberg): Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte wants her impeachment trial to go ahead, days after her allies outperformed at the midterm election that could add to her bloc of supporters in the Senate.
Duterte said her lawyers’ preparations are in "full throttle” for the impeachment trial. "I truly want a trial because I want a bloodbath,” she told reporters on Saturday.
