* But he could not provide an example of of a time he asked a foreign government to investigate anyone not named Clinton or Biden
* Defended himself from a barrage of misconduct allegations on his way to a wounded warrior visit
* Claimed his desire for an investigation into the Democratic presidential candidate was not linked to a China trade deal
* Or a meeting at the White House for the Ukrainian president or a belief he could lose the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden
* 'I don’t care about Biden’s campaign. I care about corruption,' he insisted
* Said he always thought Biden would lose the primary to one of his competitors

Donald Trump maintained Friday that he had an 'obligation' to request assistance from foreign governments to investigate alleged corruption and asks he made of China and Ukraine were not politically motivated in any way.

Trump insisted that the foreign investigations he's demanding are about Hunter Biden 'pillaging these countries and hurting us,' not his father's bid to become the next President of the United States.

While he could not provide an example of of a time he asked a foreign government to investigate anyone not named Clinton or Biden, Trump slapped down a barrage of misconduct allegations on his way out of the White House for a wounded warrior visit.

Dumbasses.. if you arrest the People we elected into office on what looks like more fake charges you will perhaps start a civil war. Just take the loss. Hillary was a bad president and just running on gender is sexist in itself!

There is no impeachment underway. There is nothing more than committee investigations. Not a single formal requirement for impeachment has begun.
