Trump tries out new defenses as damaging Ukraine evidence piles up
President Donald Trump on Friday defended his brazen call for foreign governments to interfere in the 2020 election by launching investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, claiming his outspoken desire for such probes is not politically motivated.
“As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!”
Trump had declared Thursday from the White House lawn that the Chinese and Ukrainian governments should investigate unfounded accusations of corruption by the Bidens — despite facing an impeachment inquiry for pushing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to do just that during a phone call in July.
Trump previously asserted Thursday night that he was justified in asking for the investigations into one of his chief opponents in the 2020 White House race. “As the President of the United States, I have an absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to investigate, or have investigated, CORRUPTION, and that would include asking, or suggesting, other Countries to help us out!” he tweeted.

The best way for Trump to fight corruption is to resign.
