President Donald Trump lashes out at Republican Senator Mitt Romney for criticizing his push to get foreign nations to probe leading Democratic rival Joe Biden
WASHINGTON/ATHENS - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday opened a new front in the impeachment battle that threatens his administration, blasting a prominent member of his party for criticizing his push to get foreign nations to probe a leading Democratic rival.
Another Republican senator, Susan Collins of Maine, on Saturday also criticized Trump for exhorting China to investigate the Bidens, calling it “completely inappropriate” in remarks to reporters at an event in her home state, according to the Bangor Daily News. “We hope the department will cooperate in full promptly,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.Pompeo, who has acknowledged he listened to the July 25 call between Trump and Zelenskiy, objected last week to efforts by Democrats to obtain depositions from current and former department officials.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, told Reuters in a phone interview on Saturday that the president in the July 25 call had not offered his Ukrainian counterpart any “quid pro quo” for his cooperation in probing Biden and his son.
