Trump Dismisses Impeachment Talk

VOA News

   U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed any talk about impeachment by
   some Democrats over reports that he tried to pressure Ukraine's
   president to investigate leading Democratic presidential candidate Joe
   Biden.

   Trump told reporters as he arrived at the United Nations that he is not
   taking such threats "at all seriously." He also again said he discussed
   what he called "corruption" concerning Biden and his son with Ukrainian
   President President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

   "We had a perfect phone call with the president of Ukraine. Everybody
   knows it. It's just a Democrat witch hunt. Here we go again. They
   failed with Russia, they failed with recession, they failed with
   everything," Trump said Monday. "It's very important to talk about
   corruption. If you don't talk about corruption, why would you give
   money to a country that you think is corrupt?...It's very important
   that on occasion you speak to somebody about corruption."
