US Democrats are urging an impeachment probe of President Trump over allegations he sought political dirt on his potential 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden
As President Donald Trump addressed world leaders at the United Nations Tuesday, outraged Democrats weighed impeachment in Washington over a mounting abuse of power scandal pitting the president against his top rival for the White House in 2020, Joe Biden.
Triggering the confrontation is an as yet secret whistleblower complaint centered on Trump's phone call July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "I think it's ridiculous, it's a witch hunt," Trump said in New York before addressing the United Nations General Assembly. "You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call," wrote Trump, who is accused of pressuring Zelensky to investigate his White House rival Joe Biden and his son.....You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call.
