Donald Trump asked Voldymyr Zelenski to contact the US justice minister William Barr to discuss the possible opening of a bribery investigation into Joe Biden and his son. This is confirmed by the transcript of the telephone call of July 25 between the tycoon and the president and tycoon of Ukrainian television, made public by the White House.

According to the Democrats, the US president would have pressured to reopen the investigation into Burisma, the energy company for which Hunter Biden worked, the son of former US vice president Joe Biden, the main candidate for the Democratic presidential primary next year.

Precisely these presumed pressures will be at the center of Trump's investigation into the impeachment, announced by Speaker of the Chamber, Nancy Pelosi: "Nobody is above the law. The actions of the Trump administration harm national security ".

At the moment, according to calculations made by the New York Times, 169 members of the House of Representatives are in favor of impeachment, 73 against and 193 undecided. These numbers, for now, are not enough to approve the indictment: an absolute majority, or 218 out of 435, is needed to start the procedure.

The idea of ​​initiating impeachment against the president by the Democrats had already started in recent days, with Biden, who along with his colleagues who preside over the investigative commissions of the Chamber, asked to read the transcript of the call. Trump had made it known that he would release the transcript of the "complete, original and unprepared" phone call to dismantle the charges and shoot the cards.

From Russiagate to Ukraine
According to Biden & Co. the dialogue between the presidents contains evidence of crime. The House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats after the midterm elections of 6 November 2018, will therefore try to ascertain whether Trump sought the help of Ukrainian President Zelensky to blacken the former Vice President Joe Biden. The head of the White House would ask (according to an American intelligence mole eight times) to Zelensky to reopen a judicial inquiry against Biden's son, Hunter, an advisor to the Burisma gas company. In return, Trump allegedly secured the release of 250 million US military supplies to Ukraine.

So a new solicitation from a foreign country in view of the vote, as had already happened with Russia for the 2016 presidential elections (in that case the Russiagate judicial inquiry was opened). "There are six parliamentary committees that are investigating Trump and their inquiries will continue," Pelosi thunders.
