Trump Blamed Rick Perry for Call to Ukraine President

October 5, 2019 at 5:36 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“President Trump told House Republicans that he made his now infamous phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the urging of Energy Secretary Rick Perry — a call Trump claimed he didn’t even want to make,” Axios reports.

Said Trump: “Not a lot of people know this but, I didn’t even want to make the call. The only reason I made the call was because Rick asked me to.”

“Trump made these comments during a conference call with House members on Friday.”

“Another source on the call said Trump added that ‘more of this will be coming out in the next few days’ — referring to Perry.”

You've dodged, you've side-stepped and we all saw you dance. Now it's time to let the truth be your song.

It's how he operates. He learned it from his father and used Fred Trump's political connections. Excellent article on this.

Not to mention the texts, facts etc don't support it at all.

You don't have the balls to make up your own mind on what is right or wrong? Truly?

My question is: "How many buses do you have available? Some people have said they were involved with this call and many haven't confessed yet. I hope you have a ton of buses, `cause we're sure you'll find a good use for them."
