Presidential cover

That's from the Wall Street Journal, which I can't access because it's behind a paywall. And apologies to whomever posted it on their Twitter account, because I've lost my link.

But, here's the story at Axios:

Johnson said that he pressed President Trump on the issue, which allegedly linked the distribution of $400 million in U.S. military aid with a Ukrainian investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden, in an Aug. 31 phone call. "He said ... 'No way. I would never do that. Who told you that?'" Johnson told the Journal of his conversation with the president.

Of course. So how does Johnson then use his time on the subject?

Johnson asked the Justice Department earlier this week to look into links between Ukraine and Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. His letter questioned the narrative that Biden's actions in Ukraine had nothing to do with his son's connection.

However, it was also discovered that he signed onto a 2016 letter that mirrored Biden's work to reform Ukraine's prosecutor general and judiciary.

Imagine that. It almost sounds like there was a bipartisan push back then to try to clean up Ukraine's corrupt government.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
