US Congress may pursue impeachment if Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate Biden - Democrat leader

US President Donald Trump said yesterday that he discussed Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden and his son in a call with Ukraine’s president.

Trump told reporters at the White House that their phone conversation was mostly congratulatory but also touched on corruption and the Bidens. Trump has denied doing anything improper. His allies, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, have defended the president’s phone call, which, according to news reports, was the subject of a complaint made by an as-yet-unnamed whistleblower.

“If the president is essentially withholding military aid at the same time that he is trying to browbeat a foreign leader to do something illicit, to provide dirt on his opponent during a presidential campaign, then that may be the only remedy that is co-equal to the evil that conduct represents,” Schiff said.

“If the President asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme,” Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said in a Twitter post.
