Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server

Washington (CNN)When President Donald Trump suggested — without prompting — that China should investigate Joe Biden and his son, he thrust another political grudge into what was already the world's most complicated and consequential relationship.

The move startled Chinese officials, who say they have little interest in becoming embroiled in a US political controversy. And it amounted to the latest extraordinary effort by Trump to openly request political assistance from foreign governments.

Thursday's comments weren't the first time Trump has injected Biden into his relationship with China, though he said Thursday he has never pushed Xi to investigate the former vice president. Nor is it the first time he has sought to trade favors with Xi, who this week celebrated the 70th birthday of his ruling communist party with a note of congratulations from Trump.

During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

1. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. n/t

2. Please tell me we have him saying that he'll drop tarrifs but a favor first...

3. So he's willing to sell out human rights protesters in trade for help to steal another election.

China is no friend to the U.S., nor is Russia with whom he has long been conspiring.
Can we call it treason yet?

4. Someone high level leaked this. I'm completely UNsurprised that #Traitor did this

Now I'm incredibly curious who leaked this. Since it was placed on the code word server, very few knew about it. Is this coming from our CIA whistleblower?

Fascinating

5. Stick a fork in him

It's impeachment time.

6. Ukraine, UK, Australia, China

Was Italy in there, too?

Jesus. Fucking. Christ!!

7. This'll trigger a nice tweetstorm

8. This is probably why he brought up China today....

I'll bet Biden isn't the only candidate he's investigating.

9. Trump fears Warren. You better believe his dirt machine is busy trying to find something on her

other that a genetics test procedure. If they had found something, they would have used it by now.

10. 2nd sentence in the last paragraph is now breaking news.

11. Their polling must show, he has no chance against Biden

Jeesh. They’re trying too hard
