Successive slaps received by Trump .. Isolation procedures enter the public stage

Damascus-Sana

US President Donald Trump has been hit by a series of blows this week as public accountability and the Republican Party's wrenching defeat in local elections in Kentucky and Virginia are on the brink of strong winds that threaten Trump's presidential campaign on the one hand and make the possibility of isolating him more achievable. .

The pressure on Trump is getting more and more tight on the political front as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced yesterday that the first hearings in the investigation to isolate him on the back of his request to help a foreign country to intervene in the upcoming US presidential election and to turn the balance in his favor will begin next week. Senior US officials, including William Taylor, current US ambassador to Ukraine, as well as George Kent, US deputy assistant secretary of state and former US ambassador to Ukraine, Mary Jovanovich, testified publicly to the commission, marking the beginning of the And many other births later there will be daily.

Public hearings in which US officials testify about Trump's irregularities may include, in addition to his request for help from Ukraine to discredit his Democratic challenger Joe Biden, other issues such as the economy and immigration, which would do much to damage the Trump campaign, which is floundering to contain accountability measures against him. According to a Washington Post report, Attorney General William Barr is to hold a press conference confirming that his July conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zilinski in which he asked for his help to discredit Biden was not illegal. The request was rejected in a move confirming that his former defenders had begun to recalculate and try to save themselves from the legal consequences of his violations.

In a new development of Trump's accountability measures, the president's investigative committees published a transcript of testimony by US Charge d'Affaires William Taylor in which he confirmed that Trump had told US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sundland that he would not allow the delivery of planned military and security assistance to Ukraine unless it began. An investigation with Joe Biden's son.

Trump's successive political losses are not limited to what is going on in Congress, but also to the popular level. His Republican Party suffered an electoral loss in Kentucky after Democratic candidate Andy Bashir defeated his Republican challenger Matt Bevin. In Virginia, Republicans lost the majority in both houses of the Assembly. The public is proving the big shift in the view of Americans and the decline in Trump and his party's popularity.

Local elections in the United States test Trump's level of support ahead of the 2020 presidential election As a new poll shows that more than half of Americans support investigations to isolate him and as the pace of accountability procedures accelerates and becomes public, the US president is watching with concern with the outcome. All attempts by the White House to contain investigations and cover up abuses, both in the Biden case and elsewhere, failed as his nightmare of isolation became a reality.
