The White House poured gasoline on Democrats’ impeachment fire when it released a summary of Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president that showed he explicitly sought a “favor”: an investigation of Joe Biden
Democrats’ intensifying impeachment fervor exploded Wednesday after the White House released a summary of President Donald Trump’s July 25 call with the Ukrainian president that showed he explicitly sought a “favor”: an investigation of Joe Biden.confirmed Democrats’ most prominent suspicions: That Trump pushed a foreign government to investigate his political rival, while hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine was being held up.
In a statement, the Justice Department revealed that the intelligence community’s inspector general cited a potential campaign finance violation related to the whistleblower complaint about the call. But the department ultimately concluded that no criminal activity occurred, according to Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman.
Rep. Karen Bass said that lawmakers have discussed the possibility of returning to Washington next week for hearings, despite the scheduled recess. “The White House hasn't told us anything about their intentions,” said Schiff, who is seeking an interview with the whistleblower. Trump, who is scheduled to meet with Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York later Wednesday, was quick to trash Democrats for escalating their impeachment drive.
