Whether or not Donald Trump keeps his office might come down to what transpired in a phone call.

On July 25, Mr Trump spoke on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr Trump allegedly pressured Mr Zelensky — eight separate times — to investigate the son of former vice-president Joe Biden for past ties with Ukraine . Joe Biden is the Democrats' 2020 frontrunner.

For now, the Democrats are just starting to investigate whether it's worth voting to impeach the President. They don't have to provide a specific reason for pursuing that investigation from the outset. "That's what we call a quid pro quo in bribery law; you do this and I'll do this official action for you."Under current Department of Justice policy, the President can not be criminally prosecuted until he's out of office.

Mr Trump could also face charges for violating campaign finance laws because"he's requesting something campaign-related from a foreign entity and they're not allowed to contribute to campaigns," Professor Eliason said.Nope. Not even Congress can see it, which is a big reason why Democrats are pushing forward with impeachment.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff also said the whistleblower had agreed to testify before Congress"as soon as this week".Mr Trump has said he would release the transcript of the phone call tomorrow.

Don’t get too excited ABC. It’s a very long road to actual impeachment. biasedABC

emilyolson951 peterlmarsh ... in a world where real journalists are actually fair in their reporting, there would be discussion about JoeBiden's 'negotiating' skills ... but not at the ABCNewsRadio start vid at 1:22

Goodbye realDonaldTrump , goodbye. CorruptTrump

Utter nonsense - try journalism, for a change. auspol

Nothing will come from this lefty witch hunt - Nothing

If you can’t beat him impeach him. The Democrat motto

Looks like one of the young of a vulture. Tweets a lot too.

It will stop with a Senate vote. But keep stirring the pot TheirABC

And it is going to end in the garbage bin with the Fake News and the Trump haters! 🤣

The Democrats are like an excited dog chasing a ball into freezing cold water knowing they'll suffer but unable to resist.....Trump just threw the ball again.

FYI conorduffynews adharves andrewprobyn CECAustralia

Yeah because the Mueller Report was all a hoax 🙄

Distraction time for rigging of a nominee. Let’s review. In 2006, Pelosi was quoted saying impeachment is a waste of time, in regards that of Bush for the Iraq War. auspol Hypocrite

Trump Dems-Media Track Record Russian Collusion - Wrong Stormy Daniels - Wrong Brett Kavanaugh - Wrong Mueller Report - Wrong 2016 the West experienced a revolution (Trump-Brexit) Left’s response has been to undermine it with Lawfare and media propaganda Trump2020 brexit

All the deep state cares about is ‘who they can control’ if Trumps not looking solid against certain ‘democratic socialists’ then let’s replace him with someone who is. But, in order to understand this, you need run an opened minded media outlet, so that’ll rule you guys out 🤣👋🏻

A message to the fake news ABC, report the true facts, not own ingrained biases! President Trump is releasing the transcript of his call, Pelosi has broken protocol and cannot begin an impeachment enquiry under the US Constitution! There will no impeachment and Trump will win!!!

Anti-Trump ABC DefundABC

Hey ABC is there any chance you may discuss Joe Biden’s call or the $150 billion to Iran from the Obama administration? Yeah, I didn’t think so. DefundTheABC

It’s a bit different to the last one who got exposed for getting blow jobs off a fat jewess intern then lied to the world about it

More like road to nowhere 😂

Why does the ABC report such crap? Because they mix with, listen to, and cut-and-paste the views of, ratings' losers!

Leave trump alone the USA is better off then 2 years ago. He has done greatBBC things the economy is growing and america is great again....so stop wasting money n time on this useless impeachment

The Country is imploding with the help of the media.

They'll need kryptonite to get rid of Trump not childish tactics.

Abcnews this story will end Biden’s presidential run. But ok let’s give the Dem’s rope to hang them selfs with.

Watch out for sharpie marks on any transcript of the phone call.

FakeNews TrumpDerangementSyndrome

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems to me like the Dems really got behind impeachment when they had reason to fear dirt might be coming in from Ukraine. I wonder if some Dem patriarchs have said it’s time to do something.

No, it started with his SORRY displays during the Primaries. Discerning viewers recognized this jerk for what he is DECADES ago!!!!

TRUMP2020

Phone call that hasn't been verified or seen? Excellent reporting!!!

My tax money to facilitate your TDS.

No it started with 45 removing anybody close to him with the ability to say “don’t do that”.

Shouldn't have made phone call realDonaldTrump Trumpty Dumpty ImpeachTheMFTraitorAlready

This is stupid because as the ABC news you should know that there have already been multiple impeachment resolutions put before the house, all of which had no support. There is no such thing as an official impeachment inquiry process. It's made up for fake news media.

Biden?
