The lawyer says the president should be ousted "without delay" if a report is true that Trump told Ukraine's president to investigate the 2020 Democrat.
George Conway, who is married to senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said Thursday that President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office “without delay” if it turns out he pressured Ukraine to dig up dirt on political rival Joe Biden.
Three House committees launched an investigation last week to determine if the president, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and possibly others pressured the “government of Ukraine to assist the president’s reelection campaign,” the committees said in a statement. The panels have demanded a transcript of the July phone call.
If this actually happened, @realDonaldTrump should be impeached and removed from office without delay. https://t.co/WkiA3yXPExGiuliani said in a CNN interview Thursday with Chris Cuomo that “of course” he recently pressed Ukrainian officials to investigative Biden.“Of course I did,” Giuliani answered. But then he clarified: “I didn’t ask them to look into Joe Biden. I asked them to look into the allegations that related to my client [Trump], which tangentially involved Joe Biden.
Story continuesTrump has been calling for an investigation into Biden’s connections to Ukraine since a Times report in May. According to the newspaper, the former vice president threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees in 2016 until Ukraine removed a prosecutor Biden had accused of doing nothing to fight corruption in the nation. But the prosecutor, who was removed, had been investigating an energy company whose board members included Biden’s son, the Times reported.
