There is now no doubt that Trump sought foreign interference to help him win the 2020 election. 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.” 

Several news publications have called for Trump’s impeachment again, including The Talking Points Memo and The Washington Post. Senator Elizabeth Warren reiterated her own calls, calling Congress complicit.

Earlier this year, we reported that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, went to Ukraine to pursue two investigations that could help President Trump in the 2020 elections. The first is about the origin of Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, and the second is about Joe Biden’s son’s involvement in a Ukrainian0owned gas company.

The New York Times summarizes: “Their motivation is to try to discredit the special counsel’s investigation; undermine the case against Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s imprisoned former campaign chairman; and potentially to damage Mr. Biden, the early front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.”

Giuliani has noted that, though technically not illegal, his meddling could be seen as improper––though he obviously doesn’t care that much. Critics believe that Giuliani’s actions in the Ukraine amount to yet another election cycle tainted by foreign interference at the behest of a candidate. Adam Schiff said Giuliani’s move was shockingly egregious and took his breath away.
