(Bloomberg) --
President Donald Trump pulled Ukraine’s new leader into the 2020 U.S. election campaign by allegedly asking him to investigate the son of former Vice President Joseph Biden. Trump’s personal lawyer said he wasn’t sure if his client threatened to cut off aid to Ukraine if President Volodymyr Zelenskiy refused to probe largely discredited claims against the Bidens (Trump later denied any linkage). Calls for his impeachment are rising again, with one challenger for the Republican nomination calling Trump’s alleged behavior “treason.”
