Biden Blocks Israel Aid Amid Election Worries – Acts for Which Trump Was Impeached
'It is not part of his job to use taxpayer money to shake down other countries for the benefit of his campaign...'
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., criticized Trump’s actions as an act of corruption and abuse of power.
“I respect the responsibility of the President to engage with foreign leaders as part of his job,” Pelosi wrote in a press statement on Sept. 25, 2019.
Accusing Trump of using congressionally approved funds for personal political gain, she added, “It is not part of his job to use taxpayer money to shake down other countries for the benefit of his campaign. Either the President does not know the weight of his words or he does not care about ethics or his constitutional responsibilities.”
