US Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi, announced the initiation of a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, over the latter's controversial phone call with the Ukrainian president, according to Xinhua news agency .
Mrs. Pelosi has now found a rationale in a whistleblower’s accusation about Mr. Trump’s July 25 phone call to Ukraine’s President. Mr. Trump admits that he warned Volodymyr Zelensky about corruption, including Joe Biden ’s interventions in Ukraine against a prosecutor who was investigating a company with ties to Mr. Biden ’s son.
Pelosi, reported that the actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonourable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.
Also, Mr. Trump admits that he delayed U.S. aid to Ukraine in early July prior to the phone call out of concern for corruption and allied burden sharing.
Biden and Trump
Meanwhile, Former Vice President Joe Biden, announced on Tuesday, if President Donald Trump does not cooperate with Congress, he would leave lawmakers with "no choice" but to start impeachment proceedings.
"It is time for this administration stop stonewalling and provide the Congress with all the facts it needs, including a copy of the formal complaint made by the whistleblower. And it's time for the Congress to fully investigate the conduct of this President," Biden said.
The call between Trump and Zelensky, which took place one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller, testified before Congress about Russian interference in US elections, was also part of a whistleblower complaint submitted to the Intelligence Community Inspector General.
Noteworthy, Washington Post first reported on Monday, Trump directed his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to freeze nearly $400 million of US military and security aid to Ukraine in the days before he spoke with Zelensky.
