President Trump on Friday dismissed growing scrutiny over a whistleblower complaint that reportedly raised concerns about a conversation he had with a Ukrainian leader, saying the focus should instead be on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's ties to Ukraine.
"It doesn't matter what I discussed, but I'll tell you this, somebody ought to look into Joe Biden's statement," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with the Australian prime minister.
Trump said he did not know who the whistleblower is, but derided the complaint as "partisan" and "ridiculous" and asserted that Biden is getting a pass because he's a Democrat.
The president added that his conversations with foreign leaders are "always appropriate."
The whistleblower complaint has been the subject of intense interest in recent days after The Washington Post first reported on Wednesday that it involved Trump making a "promise" to a foreign leader. The Post and New York Times later reported that the incident in question involved Ukraine.

Article and #6.
Biden, in his OWN words, admitted that he THREATENED and BRIBED the Ukranian President to FIRE the Investigator looking into Hunter Biden’s CORRUPT DEALS in Ukraine!
Focus on Biden AND his family and friends.
Biden facilitated...
China, Ukraine and other places. Too bad our ‘intelligence’ thugs work for the Democrat Party - they could have caught some of this stuff if they hadn’t been so busy looking the other way.
Just like Mueller should have been focused on the FISA abuses... but somehow it doesn’t work that way.
Lefties want to keep biting at the apple.
Did he promise Cali to Ukraine to make up for Crimea...is that a bridge too far...
Ding, ding, ding. Biden is the dimmo (literally) frontrunner. Trump gets out his laser pointer and acts like he’s the bad guy, and all the feline MSM are jumping through hoops to follow the pointer. Then, once he has the public’s attention, the Biden corruption gets leaked as an inextricable part of the narrative.
If true, well played, Mr. President, well played.
Trump’s pulling a tricks. He’s bringing the Joe Biden hanky-panky back into the news.
Narrowing down the culprit shouldn't be rocket science--unless he bugged President Trump's office.
Exactly. That scumbag got away with murder.
This may well end up being the reason Biden drops out.
Well, if when asked Biden responds that he doesn't recall, at least that's believable.
Good governance seems to trigger leftists.
I had to take my son to a medical appointment this morning. While most places here in Alabama would have Fox News on, the waiting room here had MSDNC.
The people on this channel were just going nuts! Full bonkers on how terrible and evil Trump is and what he said!
They’re sure, at least at 9:00 am today, that Trump is finished, really, truly, THIS time!
I had to laugh out loud at the sheer stupid, moronic joy they were having. It was like a drunken college orgy of the dumbest, ditzy-est, vain, haplessly vapid students.
Hi.
When do you think the Deep state will quit spying on all things Trump?
Ivanka, Pompeo, Jared etc.

If THAT happened, someone needs to go to jail, do not pass Go, and not get $200!
It amazes me that the democrats and media, who just went NUTS over the information found by the Church Committee in the 1970s, can't see a problem with this.
Seriously, we're already done.
We're just watching the turd circle the bowl before it finally goes down the pipe.
Where I come from we don't need that many adjectives to describe those "talking heads" you describe.
We simply refer to them as "DIP$HITS"
Thanks! I would have said that, TOO, but family site and all...
;-)
