Memo: Trump prodded Ukraine leader to investigate Bidens

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — More than once, President Donald Trump brought up how much the U.S. has done for Ukraine. The White House released a rough transcript of the two leaders’ phone call Wednesday, and it showed that Trump repeatedly prodded Zelenskiy to work with the U.S. attorney general and lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate Democratic political rival Joe Biden. Then Trump moved to “the other thing” — raising the subject of one of his leading Democratic rivals and a Ukrainian prosecutor: “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that.” In the conversation, Trump doesn’t distinguish between the roles of Giuliani, his personal attorney and political ally, and Barr, who as the nation’s top law enforcement officer is meant to be above the political fray. The inspector general for the intelligence community wrote to the acting Director of National Intelligence in August that he believed the conversation between Trump and Ukraine’s leader could have been a federal campaign finance violation because the president could have been soliciting a campaign contribution from a foreign government, a Justice Department official said. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the attorney general was first notified of Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president “several weeks after the call took place,” when the department received the referral about potential criminal conduct.
