Donald Trump impeachment: President called Boris Johnson for help to discredit Mueller inquiry

Source: The Times of London

President Trump personally contacted Boris Johnson to ask for help as he tried to discredit the Mueller investigation into possible connections between Russia and his 2016 election campaign, The Times understands.

Mr Trump also contacted the leaders of countries including Australia and Ukraine to ask them to help William Barr, his attorney-general, to gather evidence to undermine the investigation into his campaign’s links to Russia.

Robert Mueller, the special counsel, refused to exonerate Mr Trump of wrongdoing when he released his findings in April, prompting the president to set up his own investigation in an effort to prove that the inquiry was politically motivated.

So far he or Barr has tried to get help from Australia, the Ukraine, the U.K. and Italy to
discredit the Mueller Report.

Please remember we haven't seen the Mueller Report.

All tactics used by mobsters, and this president, and Republicans supporting that. 2020 is looking like it'll be a defeat for the record books for the corrupt criminal GOP. Numbers skyrocketing for impeachment now. Trumps desperate to do to Biden like he's done to many others, but no ones buying it this time.
