Damascus-Sana
Repeated abuses, abuse of power, and abuse of power for personal ends plunged US President Donald Trump into a new and more serious impasse this time that could end with his dismissal after a US intelligence official filed a formal complaint against him over suspicious contacts and promised to cut a foreign head of state in return for his help. In his campaign for the upcoming US elections.
The complaint involved Trump's contacts with an unidentified foreign president, but informed sources said that the matter was about Ukraine, and that the content of the communication was so serious that an intelligence official who had seen it filed a complaint with CIA Inspector General Michael Atkinson on August 12. The latter, in turn, stressed that the complaint was credible and could be classified as a matter of urgent importance to inform the appropriate congressional committees about it, but Acting Director of Intelligence Joseph Maguire protested this and refused to inform lawmakers about the matter. D to judicial and political controversy and sparked speculation that the head of the intelligence device is trying to protect Trump.
The new domestic crisis sparked by the complaint prompted the US Congress to open a communications investigation. The House Intelligence Committee listened to Atkinson as US media revealed that the complaint was linked to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zielinski, who was under intense pressure from Trump to investigate the candidate's son. Democratic presidential election Joe Biden.
The Wall Street Journal has revealed that Trump has pressed Zelenski nearly eight times to open an investigation into Hunter Biden's job at a Ukrainian gas company, and other reports have suggested that Trump has threatened Ukraine to suspend US military aid of about $ 250 million if not ordered. Politically-motivated investigations are underway in Trump's interest and campaign.
The complaint and accusations faced by Trump has received wide repercussions within the American circles due to its seriousness and clear violation of the US Constitution and the powers granted to the President of the United States, as it added a thorny new dimension to the successive internal crises experienced by the US president and his administration since taking office in 2017 amid repeated demands by Democrats in Congress opened accountability procedures with the aim of removing him from office.
The Washington Post was one of the most prominent commentators on the White House, stressing in an article that Trump committed more than enough abuses to justify his impeachment and removal from office, but the new accusation of telephone conversations with a foreign president is intolerable. The trustee towards his country by ignoring the law and putting his personal interest first.
The paper said the new charges related to Trump's actions as president, not as a US citizen, and his exercise of presidential foreign policy powers with Ukraine, noting that the White House is trying to completely close the investigation and deny not only Americans but Congressional intelligence committees the necessary information.
The paper called on Congress to do its duty at least in the context laid down by U.S. lawmakers given Trump's position above the law, arguing that congressional procrastination could have encouraged Trump to continue his abuses, threatening to encourage future US presidents to follow his steps.
Given the fierce competition between US presidential candidates and Trump's insistence on his offensive attitudes and statements, which often turn out to be false, and in addition to his hostile practices and dangerous political escalation in the Gulf region, it is no longer unlikely that Trump has fallen into the evil of his actions. The Americans, led by Democrats, have rushed enough to take a serious step toward isolating him.
