.MaddowBlog: Facing scandal, Pres. Trump admits more than he should have (again).
On late Friday morning, a reporter asked Donald Trump whether he discussed Joe Biden or his family with the president of Ukraine. “It doesn’t matter what I discuss,” the Republican replied, giving everyone a pretty strong hint about what transpired in the phone call between him and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son, creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine,” Trump told reporters Sunday morning. “And Ukraine, Ukraine’s got a lot of problems.”
It’s a compelling point. What we know at this point raises the specter of Trump urging a foreign government to look for – or by some measures, manufacture – damaging information Republicans could use to win an American election. We need to know whether there was a quid pro quo, but the absence of one wouldn’t make the scandal disappear.
