Trump Accused of Attempting to Interfere in British Election

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - Accusations of attempted interference in a foreign
   election are being leveled at U.S. President Donald Trump after he
   phoned into a British radio station Thursday.

   During the on-air discussion with Brexit Party head Nigel Farage, Trump
   praised British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a fantastic man who is
   "the exact right guy for the times."

   Trump urged Farage to cooperate with Johnson, leader of the
   Conservative Party, ahead of Britain's Dec. 12 national election, in
   which Brexit is a core issue.

   "If you and he get together, it's, you know, an unstoppable force,"
   Trump declared on LBC Radio.
