    Trump tweeted early Thursday that the story, first reported by The Washington Post, “is totally untrue and just another FAKE NEWS story with anonymous sources that don’t exist.”

    The Post said Barr rebuffed the request, which came in September around the time the White House released a rough transcript of Trump’s July 25 call at the center of the House impeachment probe. The paper cited unidentified people familiar with the effort.

    House Democrats are investigating Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to investigate political rivals as aid money was being withheld.

    Trump insists he did nothing wrong.

    Just the way Decaying Donald talked about the defeated Kentucky Governor’s election LOSS on Tuesday tells you everything about his sick mind. He threw the goy under the Egged Bus after he LOST. Even the triple-chin BARRbarian ran from herr trumpf on this stupid idea. Moronic.

    Trump has denied lots of things in recent years. Remember he denied his affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal yet paid them huge sums to keep quiet about the affairs. He recently denied knowing the 2 Russian men who worked with Rudy. Since the inauguration the man has told over 13,000 lies.
    He lacks any credibility at all.
