NEW: More than 300 former national security and foreign policy officials signed a letter released Friday labeling President Trump’s Ukraine actions a “profound national security concern.”
“President Trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes. That would constitute an unconscionable abuse of power. It also would represent an effort to subordinate America’s national interests—and those of our closest allies and partners—to the President’s personal political interest,” the letter’s authors wrote.
The letter’s authors said that “our relations with the rest of the world and our policies on the global stage must be based solely on what is in the national interest” and that “the introduction of any other considerations of the President debases our democracy, has the potential to make us more vulnerable to threats, and sends a message to leaders around the world that America’s foreign policy can be dangerously corrupted by catering to a single individual.
The authors refer to a formal impeachment inquiry as an “imperative” that will help “ascertain additional facts and that they “applaud those Members of Congress, including Speaker Pelosi, who have now started us down that necessary path.”of revelations surrounding Trump's apparent push to have the Ukrainian government investigate Joe Biden's son.
