President Donald Trump is in trouble now that we know he repeatedly prodded Ukraine's new leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy to work with Rudy Giuliani and the U.S. attorney general to investigate Democratic political rival Joe Biden.
« There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that," said Donald Trump to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, according to a rough transcript summarizing the conversation between the two leader.
« Today I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry," said Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Capitol late Tuesday
“The President must be held accountable,", she said... "No one is above the law.", she added.
Ukraine’s president, in his first public comments on the phone call that led to an impeachment inquiry into President Trump, said Wednesday that the call was “normal,” that “nobody pushed me,” and that he did not want to become entangled in American elections.
« I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be involved in the democratic elections of U.S.A.,” said the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking to reporters with Mr. Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
“We had, I think, a good phone call,” Mr. Zelensky added, referring to a call the leaders had on July 25 “It was normal. We spoke about many things. And so, I think, and you read it, that nobody pushed me.”
Mr. Trump quickly interjected, saying, “in other words, no pressure, because you know what, there was no pressure.”
