Trump In Saturday Tweet: My Ukraine Call Was 'Perfectly Fine,' Biden's 'Demand' Was 'Total Disaster'
- 5 years ago
President Trump slammed the media again on Saturday.
President Trump has claimed the "fake news media" fabricated the recent controversy involving his conversations with the Ukrainian president.
Trump tweeted in a series Saturday: "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, want to stay as far away as possible from the Joe Biden demand that the Ukrainian Government fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son, or they won't get a very large amount of U.S. money, so they fabricate a story about me and a perfectly fine and routine conversation I had with the new President of the Ukraine."
Trump continued: "Nothing was said that was in any way wrong, but Biden's demand, on the other hand, was a complete and total disaster. The Fake News knows this but doesn't want to report!"
The denial of wrongdoing comes a day after reports emerged that Trump had repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with Rudy Giuliani in investigating the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democratic challenger for the 2020 presidential race.
The interactions were part of a whistleblower complaint which questioned, in part, the Trump administration's handling of U.S. foreign policy with Ukraine.
