The president's (click here) personal lawyer is at the center of questions about Trump's handling of aid to Ukraine.

And then all the president's men lied about it.

...“Rudy (click here) — he did all of this,” one U.S. official told the Washington Post. “This s--t show that we’re in — it’s him injecting himself into the process.”...

Either emboldened after his acquittal (click here) in the Senate impeachment trial or comfortable on the show of a longtime friend, President Trump told Geraldo Rivera on his podcast on Thursday that he had, in fact, sent his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. When Rivera asked if Trump if it was “strange to send Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine” and if he regretted the decision, Trump said, “No, not at all.”

“Here’s my choice: I deal with the Comeys of the world, or I deal with Rudy,” Trump said, referring to James Comey, who gave him a “very bad taste” of the capabilities of American intelligence after the former FBI director maintained the independence of the agency in the early days of the administration. Thus, Trump had to “use” Giuliani to solicit foreign interference in an American election....

It wasn't him injecting himself into the process, it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and now admitting to same, Trump to demand a statement from Ukraine's president about an investigation into Former Vice President Biden and his son Hunter.

They conspired. It is just that simple. The conspiracy was more than Trump and Guiliani. It involved others that fronted for Guiliani and provided money besides. They stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Vienna on Russian money (click here).

Democrats released the files (click here) Tuesday as they prepared to send articles of impeachment to the Senate for Trump's trial. The documents add new context to their charges that Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate Democrats as he withheld military aid....

The only thing that Trump is good at is lying. No one trusts him anymore.
