White House: Trump's Ukraine Actions Not Impeachable

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The White House on Sunday defended President Donald
   Trump's bid to get Ukraine to investigate one of his chief 2020
   Democratic political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, saying
   the request did not amount to an impeachable offense.

   "Nothing would lead to a high crime or misdemeanor," one of Trump's top
   aides, Kellyanne Conway, told CNN. She was referring to the standard
   for impeaching a U.S. president days after the Democratic-controlled
   House of Representatives approved proceedings for the impeachment
   inquiry targeting Trump over his actions related to Ukraine.
