Trump news: Newly leaked emails add evidence president ordered Ukraine aid freeze as he attacks CNN parent company
Donald Trump has ordered around 750 US soldiers to the Middle East, with as many as 4,000 troops set to be sent to the region in the coming days following the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad.
It comes as the president claimed CNN had “NO CREDIBILITY” and suggested the network’s parent company change its management in his latest tweets. Mr Trump also claimed the investigations that led to his impeachment were “far bigger and more sinister than Watergate!”
Mr Trump’s re-election campaign manager claimed the $46m raised in the last quarter was boosted by a surge of donations in the wake of impeachment. It has also emerged the president is expected to attend this year’s Davos summit, despite skipping last year’s gathering.
Meanwhile, newly leaked emails show that the White House described the decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine as one made by the president himself.
Those emails have sparked renewed calls from Democrats for a thorough investigation in the Senate, to determine Mr Trump's complete culpability in the scandal that has led to his impeachment.
