Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton jabbed President Trump over reports he had repeatedly pressed the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.
In a reported whistleblower complaint, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky eight times to work with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to investigate Hunter Biden’s ties to an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch. Accusations have been raised that Trump had promised military aid to the country if they started an investigation.
Clinton tweeted her disapproval on Friday in response to an interview Giuliani gave to CNN the night before, during which he said he did not ask Ukraine to investigate Biden but then admitted seconds later that he did.
Giuliani’s interview with host Chris Cuomo devolved into a shouting match.
Clinton’s tweet appears to be referring to when Trump asked Russia to try to find emails by Clinton that were deleted during the 2016 election.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,” he said at the time.
The president asked a foreign power to help him win an election.
