What other conversations between Donald Trump and world leaders might have been buried?
SINCE IT WAS first reported a week ago that President Donald Trump had urged his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate the family of Joe Biden, a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, speculation has been rife about what fresh revelations might follow. After a phone conversation between the two men on July 25th, White House aides stored a record of the call in a computer system usually reserved for national-security secrets.
They may now have some idea. First, it was reported that Mr Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, and Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, were stored in the system.
Mr Trump, meanwhile, continues to enjoy the support of most Republicans in Congress, even while public-opinion polls suggest a substantial increase in the share of Americans who think Mr Trump ought to be impeached. A recent poll by Reuters found an eight percentage-point increase in the share of Americans supporting impeachment in a single week—from 37% to 45%. That support comprises 74% of Democrats, 37% of independents and 13% of Republicans.
As with the Russia investigation, there seems to be just enough amiss at this point to warrant further inquiry—but not enough to threaten the support of congressional Republicans. That suggests that the protracted spectacle of impeachment will hang over Mr Trump’s re-election campaign. The issue of foreign interference in 2016 will continue to be debated, even as the worries about interference in the next election worsen.
