KIEV (Reuters) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko on Saturday denied suggestions U.S. President Donald Trump had put pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a phone call in July.

In an interview with media outlet Hromadske, Prystaiko said Ukraine was an independent state and would not take sides in U.S. politics even if “in theory” the country was in a position to do so. He added that Kiev appreciated the assistance it received from Washington.

On Friday reports by U.S. media outlets said Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden, one of Trump’s chief political rivals, in a July phone call.

The call featured in a classified whistleblower complaint that has sparked a political battle between Democrats warning of a national security threat and Republicans turning it into an attack on Biden, a frontrunner in the field of Democrats seeking to challenge Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

They are trying to turn a genuine Biden scandal into a fictitious Trump scandal. Imagine for a minute if instead of Hunter Biden getting a million dollar gig with a company in a foreign country where he knew NOTHING about the country or the business he was working for, it was Don Trump, Jr. or Eric Trump. Does anyone think there wouldn’t be wall-to-wall outrage about it??? These people are just so transparent it amazes me they think everyone is stupid enough to believe their schemes!

CNN, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, MSNBC still not covering it.

Fox is the only one.

Did they use the special password during the phone call?

Just like Blasey Ford’s friend denying the whole made up hoax, the stupid corrupt media starts firing with both barrels again with zero evidence, except of course the Biden corruption clear evidence..
