Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the US House of Representatives says public opinion is now in favor of a prosecution investigation against President Donald Trump.
Nancy Pelosi on Saturday claimed that public opinion had gone against the Republican president after revealing new information about Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalensky.
Pelosi backed a probe into Trump's accusation this week. There have been allegations that Trump has sought political benefits from Ukraine's president in order to return to power.
Other members of the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives were trying to launch a prosecution process against Trump on various issues. However, Pelosi did not agree. He took a cautious view on this. But in the end, he ordered a probe into the Ukraine issue against Trump.
At a news conference hosted by the Texas Tribune, Pelosi said the tide of public opinion had changed. Given the attitude of the accusations and administration against Trump in the Ukraine issue, the US people are making a different decision.
Pelosi also said he quickly moved from his previous position in the Ukraine issue to advocating for Trump's impeachment investigation.
Pelosi said Ukraine's military support for political gains was as clear as water in Ukraine.
On July 25, Trump spoke to Ukraine's newly elected president, Zalensky. At that time, it was alleged that the main Democrat candidate Joe Biden and his son were pressured by a Trump phone to investigate corruption in the 2020 presidential election. If this investigation is not launched, military assistance for Ukraine will be suspended, with Trump threatening to do so.
Trump claims that while Biden was vice president, he (Biden) applied pressure to stop the government's investigation into a Ukrainian gas company.
The allegations were denied by Biden.
Nancy Pelosi alleges that Trump sought the help of foreign powers to subdue political opponent Biden. He used US military assistance in Ukraine to negotiate.
