Trump challenger Weld renews calls for his resignation after comments on political opponent

Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld (R), who is challenging President Trump for the 2020 GOP nomination, renewed his calls for Trump to resign after Trump said he might not call the FBI if a foreign power offered damaging information on a political opponent.

“Under no circumstance should any candidate accept or use information about a political opponent gained from a foreign power - especially one who seeks the destruction of our democracy like Russia or China - to influence the outcome of an American election,” Weld tweeted.

“This latest statement again proves we have a president with no respect for the rule of law and lacking a basic sense of right and wrong. Mr. President, resign. For once in your life put the good of the country first. America deserves better.”

Trump raised eyebrows Wednesday evening after ABC News released a clip of an interview in which he refused to commit to informing the FBI if a foreign power offered him dirt on his opponent in 2020.
