Only 4 in 10 Republicans think Trump mentioned Biden on Ukraine call even though he acknowledged doing so, poll reveals
WASHINGTON – A new poll shows that only four in 10 Republicans believe President Donald Trump talked to the Ukrainian president about investigating political rival Joe Biden, even though Trump has acknowledged doing so.
Trump directly acknowledged on Sept. 22 that he spoke with Zelensky about Biden, four days before the White House released a summary of the call. According to that reconstruction of the conversation, Trump told Zelensky there was"a lot of talk" about Biden's son's activities in Ukraine and that he was directing his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr to assist in the inquiry “to get to the bottom of it.
Democrats question whether Trump used congressionally approved military aid intended for Ukraine as leverage to push for an investigation of Biden. And while about half of all adults said it's a good idea for the House Judiciary Committee to conduct an impeachment inquiry, less than half said Trump should be impeached and compelled to leave the White House.
