Trump Is Basically Soliciting Foreign Help

Jonathan Chait: “Trump continues to show every sign of hoping and expecting to benefit from foreign collusion in 2020. In May, he intended to send Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to pressure the government to supply dirt on Joe Biden. He and his ally, Mitch McConnell, are blocking measures (including ones with bipartisan support) to help safeguard elections against foreign attacks and social media propaganda.”

“His message to Russia, or any other government that wants a close relationship with him, is obvious: do anything you can to help me win.”
