2 “off the books” lawyers helped Trump pressure Ukraine
Posted by Thomas Bush / September 29, 2019Fox News host Chris Wallace revealed that top US officials have confirmed that Donald Trump was working with two “off the books” lawyers to pressure the Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden. In addition to Rudy Giuliani, who everyone knew was involved, Trump was also using D.C. lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing. Trump kept them off the books because they had conflicts of interest in the case, which makes the lot of them look bad.

This information is like to harm Trump in the impeachment inquiries, which House Nancy Pelosi announced last week.
“I’m announcing that the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. I’m directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi said in the announcement.
The move comes after Donald Trump admitted to speaking with the Ukrainian president and suggesting he look into the Trump’s rival, Joseph Biden. As the New York Times points out, Pelosi’s announcement ends months of caution on the Democrat’s part, and signals a new aggressiveness against Trump.
Trump admitted Sunday that he spoke with the Ukrainian government about Biden.
“The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don’t want our people like Vice President Biden and his son [contributing] to the corruption already in Ukraine,” he said.
