House Democrats are demanding the release of a whistleblower complaint that reportedly accuses President Trump of making an improper promise to a foreign leader involving Ukraine. Trump has urged an investigation into Joe Biden.
President Trump appeared on the brink of a new scandal Friday over a whistleblower’s complaint that reportedly involves Ukraine and accuses Trump of making an improper promise to a foreign leader over the summer.
The Wall Street Journal reported that during their phone call, Trump had repeatedly urged Zelensky to help investigate Biden’s son Hunter. The Washington Post and the New York Times had previously reported that the whistleblower complaint involves Ukraine and Trump’s communications with a foreign leader, but much of the situation remains murky because the whistleblower’s identity and the specifics of the complaint remain under wraps.
Democrats say Maguire is violating the law, which his office denies. The dispute is likely to become a new front in the legal battles between House Democrats and the White House. Trump has made no secret of wanting Ukrainian authorities to investigate Biden, an effort that could boost his reelection effort, much as he demanded U.S. authorities investigate his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.
