President Trump on Saturday defended his reported push for Ukraine's president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, maintaining his discussion with Ukraine's leader earlier this summer was "perfectly fine and routine." In a pair of tweets Saturday morning, Trump argued that the news media was avoiding coverage of Biden's past ties to Ukraine and continued to highlight the former vice president's efforts to convince the country to fire a top prosecutor in 2016. "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, want to stay as far away as possible from the Joe Biden demand that the Ukrainian Government fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son, or they won’t get a very large amount of U.S. money, so they fabricate a story about me and a perfectly fine and routine conversation I had with the new President of the Ukraine," Trump tweeted.

I love it when these people are forced to print PDJT’s words in their little propaganda rags.

The president, on Twitter, had a minute-and-a-half video about the Biden affair.

Everyone should have a Twitter account.

It’s hard to believe the idiot moron liberals actually thought they were going to “get” Trump on a conversation.

Amen to that. But the big question is whether Trump’s example can inspire others in the GOP. We see some of it in a handful of congressmen like Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Doug Collins. But we need a whole battalion, at all levels of government.

President Trump broke swamp protocol by exposing a slimy, crooked long time swamp skunk. This gives the rest of the slimy swamp skunks the vapors.

KIEV (Reuters) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko on Saturday denied suggestions U.S. President Donald Trump had put pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a phone call in July.

In an interview with media outlet Hromadske, Prystaiko said Ukraine was an independent state and would not take sides in U.S. politics even if “in theory” the country was in a position to do so. He added that Kiev appreciated the assistance it received from Washington.

On Friday reports by U.S. media outlets said Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden, one of Trump’s chief political rivals, in a July phone call.

The call featured in a classified whistleblower complaint that has sparked a political battle between Democrats warning of a national security threat and Republicans turning it into an attack on Biden, a frontrunner in the field of Democrats seeking to challenge Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

“Whistleblower” - Trump is on to Biden’s crimes. He talked to the President of Ukraine who agreed to a joint investigation with the State Department.

Democrats - We will say Trump was colluding with Ukraine!

Media - Got it. We’ll print that!
