Trump was asked by reporters at the White House if he was investigating anyone besides his political opponents for corruption and he refused to answer.
Trump said, “We would have to look. What I asked for and will always ask for is anything having to do with corruption with respect to our country. If a foreign country can help us with respect to corruption and corruption probes, I don’t care if it’s Biden or anybody else, but if they can help us.

Trump is caught . If he was asking other countries for help in corruption investigations, he would be able to name a list of people beyond his political opponents that he was asking for help with. He couldn’t because there are no other people besides his potential 2020 opponents that Trump wants to have foreign countries investigate.
Donald Trump is actively soliciting foreign election interference.
The president has no right to oversee corruption investigations or initiate corruption investigation. If it involves an American citizen, federal law enforcement should be handling these matters. Law enforcement in this country has already concluded that the Bidens did nothing wrong.
Trump is trying to use “corruption” as a cover for his criminal activity.
The fact that Trump couldn’t answer the question about anyone else being investigated besides his political opponents tells the American people everything that they need to know about the intent and purpose of these calls.
