Amid calls from Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, for the White House to release a transcript of a call between President Donald Trump and the president of Ukraine, Trump told reporters he talked about both Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, because of "all of the corruption taking place."
On a July 25 call with President Vladimir Zelensky, Trump asked the Ukraine leader to investigate Hunter eight times, multiple news outlets reported Friday, citing intelligence sources. Now, Trump says he hopes "they release" the call.
Before leaving the White House for an event with India's prime minister in Houston, Trump told reporters his conversation with Zelensky "was largely the fact that we don't want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son creating to the [sic] corruption already in the Ukraine."
The president also said he'd have "no problem" with his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, speaking to Congress about Trump's interactions with Ukraine, including Giuliani's reported meetings with top Ukrainian officials to discuss an investigation into Hunter Biden.

Every time I see the clip of biteme bragging about how he got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired I just shake my head. He has no clue that what he did was likely illegal and he’s out there bragging about what a tough guy he is. He is terminally stupid, totally corrupt, and believes that since he is a swamp critter he is untouchable. We’ll see about that, won’t we slow joe?
In recent decades the population has grown substantially, with 2.4 million Indian immigrants resident in the United States as of 2015. This makes the foreign born from India the second-largest immigrant group after Mexicans, accounting for almost 6 percent of the 43.3 million foreign-born population.

before trump they got away with everything..
about 5 million indian americans and 5 million american indians now...
Symmetry.
I am convinced that PDJT’s favorite author was Uncle Remus and his favorite character Br’er Rabbit...
Until the Roadrunner came along and DJT bought Acme ....
Puhleeeeeze don’t throw me in that brier patch!!Puhleeeeeeze!!!!
Exactly. Since nobody else was opening the Hunter/Joe Biden can of corrupt worms relating to Ukraine, PDJT had someone do it. Throw out a sexy story about Trump corruption, which the RATs and MSM will gobble up, then ... into the trap.
Beating them at their own game!!
“Migration from India swelled between 1965 and 1990 as a series of legislative changes removed national-origin quotas, introduced temporary skilled worker programs, and created employment-based permanent visas. In 2016, Indians were the top recipients of high-skilled H-1B temporary visas and were the second-largest group of international students in the United States.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the indian immigrant population in 2015 was about 2.5mm & based on geographic location texas had about 250,000.
of those in texas about 160k are located in DFW metro & Houston combined. Austin has a significant IA population as does san antonio. (today austin may be as large or larger than DFW or Houston, imo, due to tech industry)
I would not be surprised if that has increased substantially since 2015.
take aways:
1. I can see where 50,000 Indian-Americans were within a short drive of Houston for today's “Howdy Modi”.
2. The national Indian population's 4 top locations are 2 counties in Cali, Cook Cty, IL & some county in NJ.
3. How many of the Indian population of over 2.5 million are here on long term visa or green cards??
4. How many of the Indian population have become US citizen & are registered to vote?
5. the texas assembly seemed to like trump & modi’s endorsement helps, but how do the Indian-Cali & Indian-Chicago feel about trump?
anyway, good to see international support for trump from India, but how big an impact will Indian-American citizens have in the 2020 election?
No not really. He bought into the original birther story which was a complicated tale about some forgery which finally ended with the alleged forger being pulled underwater by divers near Hawaii. The main problem with that story is it lacked a reason for Obama's idiot mother to not have Obama in Honolulu or Seattle. Instead she had to go to Vancouver or Kenya simply because that was required as part of the story.
All interesting questions.
thanx for pointing me in the right direction with your link.
I had no idea the indian immigration is now 3rd? behind mexico & china
no one is doing anything. Not the RNC not trump not my comfort turtle.
This is how people like hillary walks free, how we get an obama for president, how holder sold guns to mexico, how they IRS held down conservatives, and on and on. Now we have people say not really he shouldn’t do anything.
You get the kind of government you deserve and so far by your comments you get corruption.
Yep! Same reason they went ape after the President met with Putin.
I voted for Trump, and openly support him 100% even though I work in leftist territory (Arlington, VA) and get a few reactions about my Trump bumper sticker (about an equal number of thumbs up and enraged leftists). I don't expect miracles from Trump but I do expect that he will free up American business to create miracles.
As for specific corruption, like your list, sure it would be great to rid our government of that kind of corruption. As you no doubt notice, that's all leftists and deep state (which is in league with leftists). I can tell you exactly what we are going to end up with. It's 100% up to us, not Trump. He said it, and it's been my tagline for about two years. All Americans have to raise their own personal moral standards and uphold values. See Ben Franklin for a list of 13 virtues.
Note that justice is on that list. But note that justice is something you do. It's not lock her up (that's humor for the humor impaired). It's not cliimate justice, or you didn't build that, or Warren's 2% wealth confiscation, or LGBTQIAA*, or any other poitical or ideological vendetta. It is simply what Trump said in my tagline and other similar things he has said.
putting putting high level criminals and seditionists in prison is hardly tilting at windmills.
Locking up hillary IS just. How many crimes would she have to commit before you agree?
I don’t support anyone 100% when they are failing in two of their major promises. Although he is redeeming himself on the all after a very slow start.
You’re in the kool aide line when you support anyone 100% I rely on results. You can get my vote once on promises the second time is on results.
His failure to hire an AG who would prosecute criminals undercuts the rule of law and the concept of equal justice for all.
