Putin says Trump did nothing wrong, so that settles it! If Putin doesn't know, who would?
Putin says 'nothing compromising' in Trump call to Ukraine leader
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday defended Donald Trump over accusations the US leader pressured Kiev to dig up dirt on a rival, saying there was "nothing compromising" in transcripts of the call.
"I see nothing compromising in the conversation between Trump and (Ukrainian leader Volodymyr) Zelensky," Putin said of the phone call that has sparked an impeachment probe in the US.
"President Trump turned to a colleague with a request to investigate possible corruption relating to members of the former administration," the Russian leader said at an energy forum in Moscow.
"Any head of state would have had to do the same."
"They have already been using any excuse to attack President Trump. Now it's Ukraine," Putin added.
